The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Canstruction is a unique international charity hosting exhibitions and competitions of giant whimsical and wildly inventive sculptures made entirely from full cans of food. After they are built, the teams of architects, engineers, and contractors display their structures to the public to compete for winning titles. At the end of the event, all food is donated to Oregon Food Bank. 

Portland Canstruction started in 1996 and is recognized for its commitment to hunger relief and helping communities strengthen local food systems. In 28 years, the Portland event has raised 681,000 pounds of food and $248,000, which equals over 1,263,000 meals, to fight hunger in Oregon and Clark County, Washington.
