That’s a wrap for the 2025 CANstruction Fort Worth Competition! We planned for additional cans for this year and we still fell a lil short on the number of pallet boxes we needed. I gather that’s a good thing. We’re going to need a bigger truck in 2026!
Thank You to all our teams, volunteers, the Tarrant Area Food Bank, North East Mall, AIA Fort Worth, and our sponsors Freese and Nichols, Jacobs, Thomas Reprographics, Dutch Bro’s, and New Gen Print and Design! Here’s to, “There’s an Art to Ending Hunger.” in 2026!
