Canstruction® is the most unique food charity in the world!
For over 300,000 Long Islanders, the day begins and ends with the
anguish of hunger. Canstruction Long Island is determined to end this
suffering. At our event, teams are given 24 hours to defy
expectations, logic and gravity as they build fantastic sculptures
from thousands of cans of food. Driven by the knowledge that their
structures will change lives by lifting the spirits of those in need,
by raising public awareness, and most importantly, by filling the
shelves of local food banks dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to
bring their creations to life. The following day, the super-sized
masterpieces are judged in a variety of categories as these
unconventional art exhibits are opened to the public. The cost of
admission: just one can of food. At the end of the exhibition, all
cans are donated to The Interfaith Nutrition Network, Island Harvest,
and Long Island Cares, The Harry Chapin Food Bank to help feed the
hungry on Long Island.
Canstruction is using ‘one can’ as a catalyst for change, ‘one
can’ to represent the building blocks of these massive sculptures,
‘one can’ to prove that every act of kindness makes a difference.
Through the generosity of volunteers, celebrity judges, and members of
the community, Canstruction has contributed millions of pounds of food
to community food banks demonstrating that we can win the fight
against hunger.
Since 2007, the participants of Canstruction Long Island have
donated over 264,000 cans of food and thousands of dollars to help
feed the hungry on Long Island. Our event is one of 125 competitions
worldwide. In 2014, Canstruction® events across the world donated over
4.7 million pounds of food serving 3.9 million meals to needy families.
