Ready to use your creativity to design, build, and serve your community? Canstruction® is coming to Frederick in June 2026!

The Frederick Rescue Mission is thrilled to bring Canstruction® to Frederick in 2026 — a unique event where teams turn cans of food into incredible sculptures for a one-of-a-kind art exhibit. Afterward, all cans are donated to support local families in need. More than an art show, Canstruction® brings sponsors, designers, builders, and neighbors together to get creative in the fight against hunger in our community.

Be part of a team that designs and builds a giant sculpture entirely from cans of food, all donated to the Frederick Rescue Mission to help feed local families.

Every year, nearly 100,000 people receive groceries through the Rescue Mission's Food Distribution Center. During the summer months, shelves run low. Canstruction® transforms creativity into direct impact, keeping canned goods stocked for neighbors in need year-round.

This hands-on, collaborative project blends design, teamwork, and community service. You don't need a full team to join—come with a group or sign up individually and get matched with fellow builders who want to make a difference.

Join us at the interest meeting January 15th, 2026, to learn more about the event and ways to get involved. There will be an option to attend virtually via Zoom.
