Canstruction Chicago is an annual design/build competition that challenges 16 teams comprised of Chicago's brightest architects, engineers, contractors and designers to build collosal structures made entirely of canned food. At the close of the event, all food is donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. 

Please bring your canned food donation to the Merchandise Mart, first floor lobby and drop it in one of the Greater Chicago Food Depository food drive barrels.
