In Canstruction, competing teams, lead by architects and engineers, design giant sculptures made entirely out of canned and boxed food items. After judging and the close of the exhibition on March 18, all the food used in the structures will be donated to Crisis Ministries and the Charleston Area Senior Center. The event is a community service project of the design and construction industries in conjunction with Crisis Ministries, the Charleston Area Senior Citizens Service and Palmetto Pathways.
