Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food
Mission: To produce a unique competition and food drive where houston area architects, engineers and construction firms and students build creative and ingenious cansculptures with canned food and other non-perishable food items. All items are then donated to the houston food bank to benefit the less fortunate throughout the greater houston area.
Programs: Canstruction is a design/build competition showcasing the talents of design and construction industry professionals and students they mentor. Each year, teams are given just nine hours to defy expectations, logic and gravity as they build fantastic cansculptures from thousands of cans of food. Driven by the knowledge that their cansculptures 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 in a variety of categories bring their creations to life. During the next week, 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 event, all food is donated to the local houston food bank.
