For the 10th year, local groups and businesses built all kinds of things out of cans of food to help the Covenant House food pantry during the annual Canstruction event
The structures were built in the lobby of the Clay Center, and are available for public view until they're taken down on Wednesday.
All of the cans used to create the structures will be donated to Covenant House's food pantry, which serves about 10,000 people in the Kanawha Valley every year, according to its executive director, Ellen Allen.
This year they're expecting more than 17,000 cans of food to be used, and then donated, said Angie Douglas, development coordinator and executive administrative assistant for Covenant House.
That should last the pantry for three months, Allen said. "It used to last six months, but we are supplementing twice the amount of people, families ... than we did 10 years ago, maybe even triple the amount," she said.
