Visiting New York City, SUNY Oneonta administrator Tom Rathbone and Miriam Murray observed CANstruction under way and said to themselves, that would be fun on campus.
CANstruction is a nationwide effort that involves building sculptures from cans of food, which are then donated to food banks, said Linda Drake, director of SUNY Oneonta’s Center for Social Responsibility, which took on the project.
Saturday and Sunday, March 12-13, three teams – Bees for the Greeks, Union for the dorms, and Dragons for the sports teams – who had raised almost $2,000 spent the weekend building Oneonta’s first CANstruction sculptures.
The Bees did a bee. Union, a representation of the ponds behind the Hunt Union, where the event occurred. And the Dragons, a dragon.
When the sculptures were completed, they were dismantled and the food removed to the Lord’s Table on Elm Street, where representatives of various food banks shared canned delicacies ranging from tuna fish to ravioli.
