What will $651 buy these days?

Well, if you are the Student Design Group it will but all the food and then some for their CANstruction produced this past Friday at Manifest, the senior celebration at Columbia College Chicago.

The theme this year was the 80's, like that was soooo long ago! The group decided to build a three-foot Rubik's Cube from canned food and then donate the food to Heartland Alliance for all the work they do.

Here is what the money bought…

54 Cans of Spinach
54 Cans of Peas
54 Cans of Carrots
54 Cans of Corn
80 Cans of Chicken Broth
18 Cans of Spaghetti and Meatballs
36 Cans of Bite Sized Ravioli
54 Cans of Sloppy Joe Sauce
54 Cans of Pumpkin
66 Cans of Salmon

That all cost $270. With the remaining money, Heartland asked for personal hygiene products…

78- 10 pack of Razors
24 Bottles of Baby Shampoo
31 Bottles of Shampoo
36 Tubes of Toothpaste
43 Toothbrushes

It was a fun project that helped many people!
