Art Of Cans At USF Aids The Needy

TAMPA - Homecoming week at the University of South Florida started Monday - as it usually does - with thousands of cans of food and some creativity.
Hundreds of students assembled at the Marshall Student Center with canned goods they spent the past few weeks collecting. They formed teams to build sculptures with the cans, and their creativity owed something to their success during the collection process: more cans, more options.
The tradition, called Charit-a-Bull, started six years ago and has been getting bigger. Last year, students collected 12,000 pounds of food for the event, and organizers expect to nearly double that this year.
The teams donate the food to Metropolitan Ministries.
