WHAT: Twenty-one Boston-area design and construction firms "Build
Hope for the Hungry" by participating in the 8th annual
CANSTRUCTION(R) event, a national community service project
that is trademarked and sponsored by the Society of Design
Administration. Architects, engineers and students spent the
weekend building gigantic 800 cubic foot structures made out
of nonperishable food items. The sculptures will be on display
through November 7th and include replicas of Bob the Builder,
Finding Nemo, Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Spaceship Earth, a
Mini Copper, the Incredible Hulk and much more.
The three-week CANSTRUCTION(R) event will be held in
conjunction with Boston Mayor Thomas Menino's Can Share food
drive, with all food from both events to be donated to The
Greater Boston Food Bank. It is expected that over 75,000
pounds of food will be donated from both events to The Food
Bank, which is the equivalent of nearly 58,000 meals. The
wholesale value of this expected donation is $120,000.
