The 2009 Buffalo Can Challenge (BuCC), a sculpture building and food drive for Community Food Share on April 24-25, 2009, successfully collected 8,215 pounds of food, enough to feed eight people for a full year or supplement twenty-three people with one meal a day for a full year. Watch for announcements for an even bigger and better 2010 BuCC!
