Meal Packing
LuHi Meal Packing 2025: Over 134,000 Meals Packed!
In March 2025, over 700 volunteers—including our entire student body, faculty, and staff—came together to pack over 134,000 meals for those facing food insecurity. These meals were delivered to Island Harvest, the Long Island Council of Churches, and local food pantries to support our neighbors in need.
Our Impact Over the Years
LuHi’s Meal Packing Event began in 2011, with our partner Meals from the Heart, and has grown into a beloved tradition. Each year, students, faculty, staff, local schools, community groups, and association congregations unite in service. Through this effort, we have packed over 3.8 million meals for Long Island food pantries, the Andrew Grene School in Haiti, and other regions in need.
Service-learning experiences like these help shape our students into compassionate, responsible global citizens. We are proud to continue this legacy of giving.
