It is even better when we can do that in a creative,\ninteresting way.\n\nOrganized in DC by the [Washington Architectural Foundation](http://wafonline.org/), Canstruction welcomes competitors from the fields of\narchitecture, construction, and engineering to build structures entirely from cans of food according to the theme of the event. All food and donations\nfrom Canstruction ultimately go to the [Capital Area Food Bank](http://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/) to feed those suffering\nfrom hunger in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.\n\nWe are proud to have sponsored architecture and engineering industry leader Dewberry at [Canstruction](http://www.canstruction.org/) DC 2014.\nThis year's theme is “Play With Your Food,” so Team Dewberry used its collective expertise to build \"Can-D-Land.\"\n\nYou can see photos from Canstruction DC 2014 on our [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.711839755561664.1073741830.514602035285438&type=1) page.\n\nIf you are around DC through September 5, 2014,\nplease stop by the [National Building Museum](http://www.nbm.org/) to check out Dewberry's\nCan-D-Land as well as all the other magnificent structures. You can vote for your\nfavorite for The People's Choice award and even donate a few cans of your own. If you can't make\nit, you can [vote online](http://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/2014/08/canstruction-2014-time-vote/) as well.\n\nIn 2013 Canstruction teams donated nearly 56,000 pounds of food and $8,000 from People’s Choice votes--the equivalent\nof about 42,000 meals. Congratulations to Canstruction and\nDewberry, as well as all the other participants, for their commitment to helping others. We are excited to be part of it."
