what is canstruction

Canstruction is one of the most unique food charities in the world. Magnificent sculptures built almost entirely of canned goods are created by local teams of architects, engineers & students and then displayed for the public to see. Judges rate the sculptures and winners compete nationally in the Canstruction competition. But the best part is that when the sculptures are deconstructed, all of the canned goods used are loaded up and donated to the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry and the St. Louis Area Foodbank. Last year over 53,000 cans of food were collected.

This year Canstruction will be bigger and better than ever. And this is not without need. With the economy in its current state, more and more people are in need of assistance and less people are able to help. The local food pantries are low on supplies and the demand is increasing. You can increase local community awareness for your company and the Canstruction drive by being a part of this year’s event.
