JCB North America (JCB), known for construction equipment innovation and manufacturing, and RVK Architecture (RVK), a professional design firm focused on architecture, interior design, and landscape solutions, have joined forces to donate 6,000 canned goods to the San Antonio Food Bank as part of the 2025 CANstruction San Antonio competition held September 8, 2025. 

The annual competition blends creativity, engineering, and philanthropy to combat hunger in the local community by having teams plan and build art installations completely out of canned food goods. This marks JCB’s first year sponsoring the event, and the company partnered with RVK to showcase the fan-favourite JCB DIGatron Monster Jam truck, now reimagined with a CANstruction-themed design. Among all participants, including other architecture firms and local universities, RVK’s design earned the award for “Best Use of Labels.”

For more than 18 years, the San Antonio chapters of The American Institute of Architects and the Society for Design Administration have hosted the CANstruction San Antonio event at North Star Mall. This event has contributed more than 20,000 containers of food and nearly $100,000 in value to local hunger relief efforts. All cans used in the exhibit were donated to the San Antonio Food Bank following the event.

“Securing donated food is tougher than ever, especially with federal belt tightening. The food from CANstruction is the right food, in the right amount, at the right time for our families. We are so grateful for this support,” said Eric S. Cooper, President & CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank.

JCB invites individuals, families, and businesses to view JCB DIGatron Monster Jam truck at North Star Mall in San Antonio from September 9 to 20, 2025. There will also be an opportunity to vote for DIGatron for the People’s Choice Award during this time.
