The Parsonage

The Parsonage is a home away from home for the families of patients at the
Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The Parsonage is currently serving families of patients
of the transplant, oncology, and hematology services and the Heart and Vascular Institute.
Our partner church, Spring Creek Church of the
Brethren in Hershey, allows Love INC to use and operate their lovely historic four-bedroom
home in the fashion of a Ronald McDonald House charity.
Love INC is pleased to offer caregivers, primarily adults, the opportunity to be near their loved one during a health crisis. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood, The Parsonage is only 2 miles from the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
Forty to forty-five volunteers from 10 different churches care for our guests and the home on a monthly basis. Since opening full-time on September 29, 2008, Love INC volunteers have provided warm hospitality to over 183 guests and provided 720 nights of free lodging, saving the families a minimum of $36,000 - $72,000. (Figures assume year round hotel availability in Hershey and a modest cost of $50 - $100 per hotel night.)
