| Commerce Bank, IC Federal Credit Union and Main Street Bank are among the organizations featured in this week’s roundup.
Canstruction
Now in its 22nd year, Canstruction raises hunger awareness in Massachusetts by challenging 29 Boston design teams – comprised of architects, designers, engineers and contractors – to transform thousands of nonperishable food into larger-than-life masterpieces at BSA Space and in the Atlantic Wharf lobby at 280 Congress St. in Boston. The participating teams will compete for top honors in categories including best use of labels, best meal, structural ingenuity, most cans and jurors’ favorite, among others. The sculptures are made without the use of glue or other adhesives.
Commerce Bank
Commerce Bank employees recently participated in the United Way of Central Massachusetts’s annual Day of Caring, spending the day cleaning at Sherry’s House in Worcester.

The first promotion will focus on Mass Education schools or programs, with a $250 donation to be chosen by the winners of the Intelligent Checking group (who will also receive $25), and each student winner will receive $100.
