Working to Can Hunger
When you’re hungry, you simply reach for the pantry or dial up your favorite take out. But many in the U.S. won’t have that opportunity today- or maybe tomorrow or next week.

Herschman Architects and The Society of Design Administration (SDA) are working to change all that with an initiative called Cleveland Can. They are sponsoring Canstruction®, a nation-wide design/build competition that works to draw attention to hunger issues right here in our own backyard as well as across the country. It also solicits significant donations to the Cleveland Food Bank (CFB) working to feed hungry people at 450 centers throughout Northeast Ohio.

Herschman Architects, on behalf of Canstruction® 2008, was awarded the Edmond V. Worley HOPE Award presented by the Cleveland Food Bank. This award was chosen by members of the food bank in recognition of a company who has demonstrated outstanding humanity, originality, participation and enthusiasm (HOPE) in the fight against hunger in our community.

The HOPE award was based on the charitable contributions of HA and the participating teams of Canstruction®. The teams elicited money and canned food items during the Harvest for Hunger campaign in March, and raised over 23,000 pounds of food and provided 17,250 meals to the hungry people of Northeast Ohio.
