"City Harvest, established in 1982, stands as New York City's largest and pioneering food rescue organization. Annually, this nonprofit saves millions of pounds of nutritious food from going to waste, distributing it to countless food pantries, soup kitchens, and community partners throughout the five boroughs. This year, City Harvest is set to rescue over 86 million pounds of food, ensuring that New Yorkers facing food insecurity can access healthy, fresh meals."
Brookfield Place hosts the return of Canstruction, an annual design competition that transforms unopened cans into large-scale sculptures created by teams of architects, engineers, and contractors. Each sculpture demonstrates creativity and engineering skill and will be exhibited for public viewing before being donated to City Harvest, New York City's largest food rescue organization. Canstruction New York operates as a 501(c)(3) established by the Society for Design Administration and connects building professionals through creativity and community service. Canstruction events occur globally, converting thousands of cans into structures donated to local food banks. Guided tours are scheduled for Saturday, November 1 from 3 to 4 pm.
