Be the Hero of the Story—Register Your Team Today!

More than 531,000 people in Central Florida, including 1 in 6 children, face hunger insecurity every day. You can help change that story.

Join Canstruction Orlando to support Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and transform cans into hope. This year’s theme, “Cantastic Tales: Stories that Feed Hope,” invites you into a world of folktales, fables, and fairy tales—where kindness defeats hunger and every story fuels a well-fed future for our neighbors in need.

Rally your coworkers, clients, and partners to build a stunning structure that inspires our community and helps end hunger.

Ready to create a fairy tale ending for families in need? The next chapter starts with you!
