In partnership with Midland Public Schools and the Midland Mall, MCFAN hosts Canstruction Midland – a charitable event in Midland, Michigan, designed to raise hunger awareness while bringing students together to design and build artistic structures made entirely of canned and boxed food using STEAM principles, such as engineering, mathematics, arts, design, 3D modeling and problem-solving.
First launched in 2020, the event brings together students from across the county and also allows the public to vote for their favorites during the display time. All of the proceeds and donated canned foods from the event support MCFAN and our mission.

2025 Canstruction RECAP-Theme: FOOD
Local students doing their part to help combat hunger right in their hometown
On November 5th, Midland’s youth and community sponsors bound together to show their support for MCFAN and raise awareness of food insecurity that happens in our hometown. This event brought together high school and middle school students from 7 local schools to compete in an impactful challenge. Using STEAM principles, the students created sculptures entirely out of food items, proving that “one CAN make a difference.” The results spoke for themselves – 10,500 cans of food were donated to The Midland County Food Assistance Network (MCFAN). With MCFAN distributing approximately 15,000 items per month, this contribution will surely help impact the community.
