What is CANstruction: CANstruction is an annual competition where architects, engineers, and students create large structures from canned food to showcase their talent and raise awareness about food insecurity. After the exhibit, all cans are donated to the Food Pantries for the Capital District. Last year, 58,000+ pounds of food and $45,000 were donated. The CSArch Team is the longest tenured team that has been a participant since CANstruction's inception in 2011.
This year's theme is "Lights, CANmera, Action" and the sculptures will be displayed at Crossgates Mall from May 6th to 20th. CANstruction is trying to reach major milestones this year by raising $75,000 and 35,000 pounds of food, bringing our all-donation totals to the Food Pantries for the Capital District to $500,000 and 1,000,000 pounds of food.
