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.
