I’ve posted something about Canstruction before, but it seems like a great time to mention them again with the holidays approaching. Canstruction is a fantastic organization that puts together food drives with a real artistic flair. Each of these sculptures is made from cans to demonstrate how each can of donated food can be a building block to something great and to prove that every act of kindness can make a difference. After every public exhibition, these sculptures built by local architects and engineers are then donated to the local food shelter for distribution. Look for these exhibits happening soon in New York, Houston, Austin, and many other cities.

The transformative power of design can be seen in the work of Enchanted Makeovers, an organization that transforms women’s shelters from dreary and drab to whimsical and bright. They do more than just decorate rooms, they transform experiences. Read more about them here.
