More than 500 volunteers packed the gym at The Langley School Saturday morning. They packed 75,000 meals for the people of Puerto Rico who were impacted by Hurricane Maria.
The event was part of the school's 75th anniversary celebration.
"This is the first time we have organized a school wide-service project of this magnitude. The event was a wonderful opportunity for us to make an impact, while also bringing past and present members of our community together for a meaningful, shared experience." said Dr. Elinor Scully, Head of School.
To cover the cost of each of the meals, the students, families and sponsors raised more than $20,000 to pay for the meals.
The meal-packing event was the end of the school's inaugural 'Week of Giving' which ran March 12-16.
