Cast Members from Disney Design & Engineering participated in the annual design competition, CANstruction Orlando, which benefits Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. The theme this year was “Hunger Heroes”, so naturally the cast members chose “The Incredibles” as the concept for their sculpture.
Disney VoluntEARS stacked 7,500 cans of mixed vegetables, tomato sauce, fruits and other food items in a matter of hours to form some of the title characters from the Disney-Pixar animated film.
“As a family with super human powers, the Incredibles help save the world from the evil super-villain, Syndrome,” said Mike Piatek, director of architecture and facilities engineering for Walt Disney World Resort. “As Disney Cast Members, we may not have actual super powers, but participating in CANstruction is one of the things we can do to help those in need in our community.”
14 organizations throughout Central Florida were represented in this year’s event. The creations will be on display at Orlando fashion Square Mall through Sunday, Oct. 11. All of the nonperishable foods will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
“Support from the community through events like CANstruction help raise awareness of our mission to create hope and nourish lives through hunger relief,” said Sasha Hausman, development officer with Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. “Combined with the longtime support of Walt Disney World we’re able to multiply our efforts and make an even bigger impact.”
Walt Disney World Resort and its Cast Members have supported Second Harvest Food Bank for the past 23 years, including distributing unserved food from around the resort through the Disney Harvest Program. Since 2012, Disney VoluntEARS have donated more than 29,000 food items through the annual CANstruction Orlando events.
