It starts with one can, to feed the hungry, to lift the spirit, to change the world. Canstruction is a charity committed to ending hunger, using "one can" as a catalyst for change.

Every month, over 500,000 New Jerseyans access hunger reflief programs supported by the Community Food Bank of NJ. New Jersey's design/build competition puts a visual spotlight on hunger while showcasing the state's best and brightest designers.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Last year, thanks to our sponsors, AIA-NJ and AIA Newark and Suburban, Goya, and Skanska USA Building, we were able to donate $1,791 and 45,000 pounds of food to the Community Food Bank.

- The chance to show to the public your commitment to helping the community at large cause in fighting hunger, but this opportunity also offers the following for our sponsor
- Recognition from those within the industry that you offer help those outside the industry
- The ability to balance your annual marketing expense
