2010 Great Falls Canstruction
Posted March 18, 2010—Last month, the Giant Springs Chapter of Credit Unions took part in Great Falls' Canstruction 2010. Their structure — "Together We Can Scrap Hunger" — was based on the lovable title character from the film WALL-E and emphasized that we, too, can change the world by working together to eliminate hunger. Twelve credit union employees spent just under four hours to complete their entry (shown above), using 1,458 cans of food, which ranged from Stagg beef chili to sardines and Hershey bars. Oh, and the chapter's WALL-E won the Juror's Prize and will proceed on to the national competition.
Overall, Canstruction 2010 in Great Falls collected 7,835 pounds of food and raised $703 in cash donations for the Great Falls Community Food Bank. What a wonderful way to contribute time, energy, and creativity to an important community cause!
