More is more, especially when it comes to events. The Food Bank is grateful to be the beneficiary of a number of events around town thanks to the generosity of many.

Art and Goodwill Joins Forces at 'Canstruction'

Canstruction is a distinctive event that features canned goods constructed into extraordinary, larger-than-life, colorful sculptures, in an effort to benefit the national fight against hunger while showcasing the talents of area architects and engineers. Using nothing but cans, tape, cardboard, rubber bands and wire, the teams build giant sculptures of everything from castles to cartoon characters. Following this weeklong event, all of the food is donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank for distribution throughout the community. This event is part of the nationwide canstruction competition, and local winners (as decided by a panel of judges) will move on to compete against winners from other cities. The event is being organized by AIA Atlanta, Atlanta SDA and is sponsored by The Kroger Co. Stop by and see these fantastic works of abstract art! Free admission for all.

You can help make this even more of a success. Click here to learn how you can support the Food Bank by volunteering at the Canstruction event.
