The holidays are about gathering around the table, and no family in our community should wonder how they’ll fill it. This season, Samet Corporation’s Women @ Work is teaming up with Triad Moms on Main to turn a simple can of food into something much bigger.

We’re collecting canned goods for an internal building competition to build a holiday-themed structure. When the season wraps up, every can goes to a local non-profit to help families right here in the Triad and Greater Charlotte.

What Is CANstruction?

CANstruction is an international hunger-relief charity that raises millions of pounds of food every year for local food banks. Teams come together to design and build creative structures out of unopened cans of food, so the art is impressive and the impact is real.

How You Can Help

Drop off your donations at either of our two locations listed above. Please bring:

Unopened, unexpired canned foods
Labels intact

To keep things safe and useful for the families we serve, please skip glass containers, pet food, and dented cans.

Little helpers welcome! It’s a great way to teach kids about giving back. Let them pick out a few cans at the store and bring them along.

Who We Are

Women @ Work is an Employee Resource Group at Samet Corporation, a top 100 General Contractor in the U.S. Our mission is to build an inclusive, supportive community where women thrive through mentorship, leadership development, and skill-building, and grow their careers with confidence.

This is our 2nd annual CANstruction event, and we’d love for you to be part of it. We build for a living, and this year we’re building for a cause.

Grab a can. Bring a friend. Help us build something that feeds our neighbors.
