CANstruction 2020 Build Day
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.
Tuesday, March 3rd, Shift 1 - 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM (10 volunteers) | CANstruction Build Day, NYS Museum 4th Floor
- This is a massive “housekeeping” task with 3-5,000 empty boxes that must be moved to specific areas to be saved for the take-down, the shrink wrap collected and discarded… helping with dozens of special requests (one-year Food Pantry volunteers helped to tie 1,500 tea bags to the limbs of a tree) To see it all come together is nothing less than a wonder!
- If you can only do a portion of the shift, please email, Kathy@theFoodPantries.org
