Your Gifts Spread Holiday Cheer! Canstruction Recap You're helping kids get the food they need to grow! Your gifts make the difference in North Texans' lives! North Texans have the food they need to thrive! The 20th annual Dallas Canstruction took place once again this year at the State Fair of Texas. DFW architecture and design firms created colossal structures made entirely out of canned food items. After the can sculptures went on display to the public, the food was donated to the North Texas Food Bank. These 158,300 cans, in addition to donations totaling more than $17,000, are providing more than 175,000 meals to hungry North Texans this holiday season. Dallas Theater Center Presents: "A Christmas Carol" Partake in the spirit of the season and take your family to see Dallas Theater Center's production of "A Christmas Carol" this holiday season. All donations collected at the end of the show will benefit the North Texas Food Bank! Please visit dallastheatercenter.org to purchase tickets.
