Local residents and their friends or coworkers are encouraged to field a team for the annual CANstruction event on Feb. 20 at FairOaks Mall, located at 2380 25th St. in Columbus.
CANstruction features teams building engineering masterpieces of various scenes or structures using canned goods. All canned goods are then donated to Love Chapel, Community Center of Hope, and the Salvation Army food banks.
Organizers with the United Way of Bartholomew County say the event is more important than ever as each food pantry is seeing increased need due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Last year’s event set a record of 61,218 cans either used for the teams’ creations or those donated by residents while voiding for their favorite entry.
