Canstruction was founded by the SDA\, whose purpose is to advance management and administrative professionals in the A/E/C industry through education\, networking\, leadership\, and resources. Canstruction hosts competitions and events worldwide\, creating awe-inspiring\, gigantic structures made entirely out of non-perishable food. \nTeams of volunteers\, which include design industry professionals\, participate in Canstruction® events in over 100 cities each year. The can art sculptures are on exhibit to the public in each city where a competition is held. The public is invited to donate non-perishable food items during the exhibition. At the close of an exhibition\, all food from the structures and public donations are donated to local food banks. \nCanstruction® New York has donated over 2 million pounds of food to local food banks since 1993\, and over 1.2 million pounds to City Harvest since 2006. Since 1992\, Canstruction® has raised nearly 82 million pounds of food for hunger relief organizations around the world with its signature\, trademarked CanArt. \n\n\n\n\nAbout City Harvest \n\n\n\n\nCity Harvest is New York’s first and largest food rescue organization\, helping to feed millions of New Yorkers who struggle to put meals on their tables.
