GREAT FALLS, Mont. — Eight Montana credit unions, which make up the Great Springs Chapter of the Montana Credit Union Network, are finding themselves in national competition this month for putting together an unusual and prize-winning "can sculpture" made up of 3,000 food cans destined for a local food bank.
"We're all excited at how credit unions in our Great Springs Chapter have been able to do good in really helping our local food bank and coming up with a prize-winning design," explained Lael Humble, one of the coordinators of the CANstruction project and vice president of marketing and training at Montana FCU.
CU volunteers from area CUs spent hours shopping for non-perishable food cans and helping erect the exhibit in a Great Falls shopping mall. Their car exhibit based on a character in the Dixney-Pixar film, "Cars," won the first place "Juror's Favorite" prize.

The win made the Network chapter eligible to compete nationally in a contest this May sponsored by an architect/engineering group, the Society for Design Administration CANstruction, which supports food banks across the U.S.
Beside Montana FCU, other CUs in the chapter include: 1st Liberty FCU, Electric City FCU, Fergus County FCU, Lewistown; Great Falls Teachers FCU, Russell Country FCU, Family First FCU, and Tricounty FCU, Harlowton.
