Congratulations to our neighbors at Hansen Company for winning the Food Pantry Sculpture Contest People's Choice Award! This honor is given by community members who voted over the past two weeks on their favorite canstruction project. We love how "fruit-full" this sculpture is, and can't wait to have the contents fill our shelves. Thank you to the team and Hansen, and to the hundreds of people who took time to visit our website and vote!

It's the last day of sharing the Food Pantry Sculpture Contest entries! Please vote for your favorite to win "People's Choice Award" via our website by August 30th. The theme this year was "Fruit-Full Giving." https://www.johnstonpartnership.org/sculpturecontest

Our final entry, Hansen Company is competing for the second year. The team was super eager to submit their "Fruit- Full" sculpture and see what everyone else created! Checkout their "Jackpot" creation.

Thank you to the team at Hansen for their hard work and participation in this competition. We have loved having so much support from our friends and neighbors. All "canstruction" materials will be donated to the food pantry following the contest!
