Lighting the Way to End Hunger

This holiday season, our CANstruction project takes the shape of a glowing symbol of hope: a giant holiday lightbulb. Using carefully arranged canned goods, this radiant structure shines a light on the critical issue of hunger in our community. The design represents the warmth, joy, and togetherness that the holidays bring, but also reminds us of the millions who struggle to find enough to eat every day.

Each can in the sculpture symbolizes a beacon of hope, highlighting the role we all can play in illuminating the path to a hunger-free world. Our message is simple: like the light that guides us through the darkest nights, collective efforts CAN brighten the lives of those in need.

Together, we are sparking change, one can at a time, to bring an end to hunger and spread hope this holiday season. While holiday lights are only seen around the winter holidays, it is important to support our local food banks all year long! One can CAN make a difference!
