Originally going to be held at Clover Park, the city’s largest food pyramid is shifting to a new location.

The Hunger Awareness Day Event scheduled for Tuesday, June 6, will be held at the Westside Food Bank warehouse, 1710 22nd St.

Students from the Art Institute of California–Los Angeles, which is located in Santa Monica, will build a large-scale sculpture made entirely of canned food to raise awareness about local hunger.

Wild Oats Markets in Santa Monica is contributing the cans to be used in the creation of the sculpture, which will be unveiled at 4 p.m. All foods used will be donated to Westside Food Bank.

Westside Food Bank supplies food to 65 social service agencies with food assistance programs in Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, West Los Angeles, Inglewood and West Hollywood. The Food Bank’s food now reaches more than 80,000 people each year, half of whom are children.
