Largest Canned Food Structure-world record set in Wellington

Passers-by were amazed and inspired by the work that has gone into this initiative and the fact that it has been run by a group of people who are all under the age of 24.      

   The Largest Canned Food Structure itself was built in just one day and two sleep-deprived nights in Wellington’s Civic Square.

 The previous record, set in the USA was 45,725 cans.

The Salvation Army has said that due to the overwhelming success of iCAN, they will be able to help out their struggling Christchurch centres which are only weeks away from running out of food.
