BRIDGING THE GAP TO END HUNGER: The Alameda County Assessor's Office worked together to collect 164.19 pounds of canned and boxed goods to build this bridge.

Some friendly competition between Alameda County departments helped raise 8 tons of food and $8,000 in cash donations! Proceeds went towards the Alameda County Community Food Bank.

Check out their compelling sculptures/art pieces using donated food cans, boxes and packages:
