Dededo, Guam – As little as one can, CAN make a difference. From September 1st through October 1st, Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz is participating in the island-wide CANstruction canned food drive. The initial goal is collecting “250 cans for 250 years of the Marine Corp”, the mission: collect canned goods to feed children across Guam.
The donation drive supports CANstruction, a community event hosted by Be Heartfelt, and Tower for Humanity. The event provides the opportunity to serve as good stewards of Guam by addressing issues that affect one of the island’s most vulnerable populations – its children. Donations will benefit Be Heartfelt’s “Meal Pack Program” which feeds 350+ children weekly by packing and distributing discrete meals.
Thanks to the enthusiastic participation across the installation, the initial goal of 250 cans has already been surpassed – but the effort isn’t stopping there. Donation drop boxes will remain available through October 1st.
On October 4th, Marines will join the CANstruction “build day” at the Agana Shopping Center to transform the donated cans into a large-scale structure. On the 5th, the public is invited by Be Heartfelt to view the creations and participate in voting to recognize teams on their impressive structures and donation efforts.
Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz remains committed to being a good neighbor and partner to the community, standing alongside Guam’s families in service and support.
