CANstruction is an annual exhibit and design competition that connects talented architects, engineers, contractors, and students to imagine and create colossal structures built completely out of canned food items. The structures are on display on the fourth floor of the New York State Museum for two weeks, raising awareness of food insecurity in our region while highlighting the local talent of design firms. At the close of the exhibit, every can is donated to The Food Pantries for the Capital District to help feed families in the Capital Region.
DE-CANstruction is the day the cans come down! We need volunteers to help box the food from the exhibit in order for them to be distributed to one of our 67 pantries!
Volunteers should dress comfortably and be ready to be active. Can only volunteer for part of the day? No problem!
