The 11th Annual Capital Region CANstruction exhibit is going virtual for 2021! There will be no physical builds or exhibits at the NYS Museum this season, which remains closed and does not expect to open by early spring to host CANstruction this year.
Capital Region CANstruction has donated over 450,000 lbs of food and $136,400 to The Food Pantries for the Capital District to support our work to address hunger through our member 65+ network of food pantries in Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady Counties. Due to the changing nature of CANstruction this year, we need your help now more than ever to support our local food pantries, many of which continue to experience a significant rise in demand.
The Hunger Heroes program invites members of the Women’s Business Council to enroll their businesses/teams of all shapes and sizes to collect food and funds to benefit The Food Pantries for the Capital District! By participating you will have an opportunity to be a part of the significant impact of this regional event and all food and funds raised contribute towards the CANstruction totals.
Are you ready to sign up to participate as a Hunger Hero team? The competition runs from now until Friday, February 12th!
