As part of Shelton’s 50th anniversary celebrations, the school — the largest independent school worldwide for intelligent children with learning differences — will host the Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) MobilePack on September 5–7. This traveling event, organized by the nonprofit that provides nutritionally complete meals to children worldwide, will bring together more than 4,900 volunteers in shifts to pack more than 750,000 single-serving meals specially formulated to fight malnutrition and delivered to children in greatest need.

On Friday, September 5, Shelton staff and fifth- through twelfth-grade students will pack meals in the Main Gym. Third- and fourth-grade students may participate if accompanied by a parent volunteer.

On Saturday and Sunday, September 6–7, the MobilePack opens to the wider community. You are invited to volunteer for weekend shifts and to help recruit friends, neighbors and groups such as book clubs, scout troops, sports teams, faith group and teens seeking service hours. The event will take place indoors with air conditioning and music. It’s a wonderful opportunity for service, teamwork and fun.

Together, Shelton students, families and community members will turn hunger into hope — packing life-saving meals and celebrating 50 years of learning without limits through service.

Sign up for a weekend shift and share the link with your family and friends. Let’s fill every shift and make a global and local impact!
