Canstruction is using one can of food as a catalyst for change. One Can® to represent the building blocks of massive sculptures. One Can® to prove that every act of kindness makes a difference.

Since 1992, Canstruction has contributed over 17.5 million pounds of food to community food banks demonstrating that we can win the fight against hunger.

Canstruction® JR Hudson Valley features teams of students in kindergarten through grade 12 who will design and build structures entirely from canned food. 2012 teams included High Meadow School, The Kildonan School, Woodstock Day School, Oakwood Friends School and Poughkeepsie Day School.  All canned food used and raised during the event was donated to the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley and Queens Galley in Kingston.

Join us in February 2014! Together, we CAN make a difference and fight hunger in the Hudson Valley.
