DLA + Architecture & Interior DesignDonates 1,800 cans of food
News-October 2011
What a great idea and help Kiski Valley Food Bank received in assisting its mission to feed those in need! DLA + Architecture & Interior Design ( www.dlastorino.com ) in Pittsburgh took part in one of the most unique competitions around, Canstruction 2011, to help care for families in our area. The result was a donation of 1,800 cans of food to the Kiski Valley Food Bank this October--as well as a financial donation!
AIA Pittsburgh Young Architects Forum hosted the competition in Pittsburgh in September (see the Facebook page at http://goo.gl/w0j8r.) It was a design/build contest to construct fantastic, giant-sized structures made entirely out of canned food. Architects, engineers, designers, contractors, students, and the local community came together to collect canned food to donate. Seven different teams competed and collected 9,000 cans of food that was distributed to western PA food banks. DLA + Architecture & Interior Design chose Kiski Valley Food Bank, Inc. for their donation. It was part of a larger international effort to raise food by Canstruction that
helps feed those in need.From left to right, Jason Hindes, Lisa Starr, Jennifer Thompson, and Jane Hallinan stand by the structure they built.
Thank you, DLA + Architecture & Interior Design, for the cans of food and the donation. Thank you, Canstruction 2011 for your wonderful national food campaign.
