Why
To raise awareness and food for the Food Bank of the Southern Tier and CHOW
What is Canstruction®?
It starts with ONE can. To feed the hungry. To lift the spirit. To change the world.
Canstruction® is an international hunger-relief competition where teams compete to design and build giant structures made entirely out of canned food. The Southern Tier is joined by 100 cities across North America who will hold Canstruction competitions in the coming year. Highlighting the creativity and compassion of our community groups, these astounding structures are helping to change the world– by lifting the spirits of those in need, by raising public awareness, and most importantly, by collecting millions of pounds of food for local food banks.
The Food Bank of the Southern Tier and CHOW work in partnership to leverage national, regional, and local resources to end hunger in our community. The canned food used in each structure will be distributed through CHOW to emergency food programs throughout Broome County including food pantries, soup kitchens, and other community meal programs. The funds raised will support both agencies’ hunger-relief efforts including the Food Bank’s BackPack Program™. Winners of Canstruction® of the Southern Tier will be nominated for the chance to compete on a national level.
