Rapid City, S.D. � Black Hills Federal Credit Union employees assembled a piece of cake out of more than 1,400 cans and non-perishable goods at the Rushmore Mall this February during the first Canstruction-Rapid City contest.
BHFCUs Community Action Team raised over $800 to purchase non-perishable goods for the live, public build event to benefit Feeding South Dakota, a state-wide food pantry.
"This was a fun and competitive way to get many of the businesses and people here in town involved with Feeding South Dakota," said Anna Snelling, chair of the Community Action Team Project. "It was amazing to see peoples creativity being put to use for such a great organization and cause."
