I’m sure you’ve heard of the Can Town Project, yes? For those of you who reside under rocks, the Can Town Project is this awesome thing where Homestucks meet up- at cons, at meets, w/e, and bring their cans and other non-expired, non-perishable food items to make their own Can Town. They take a picture, then deliver the spoils to local foodbanks.

Sounds fun, right? I thought so too!

Which is why I’d like to set up a meet. I want at least 15 people to respond saying that they will participate before I tell the admin of the Can Town Project blog.*

Come on Homestucks! Together we can feed those who need it!

Dave endorses charity. Look at that fine piece of ass.

*edit: I’ve decided to tell the Can Town Project admins in the hope that they will advertise.

Update:

I’ve submitted “Become the mayor of Can Town” as an event to the Animinneapolis god peoples. Hopefully they deign to look down upon this mortal peon and bless me with their noble acceptance.

Hello, we are planning a Can Town Meet-up for Lake County, Florida and it would be most helpful if you would put us on your list. Thank you very much.

Hello! I've just started attempting to get a Can Town at Animinneapolis this summer. Literally just- like two minutes ago. I would really appreciate it if you could post this, maybe tag it with Animinneapolis? I'd really like this to be a thing, but Animinneapolis is such a small con. Thank you. :)

Mon, 20 May 2013 13:20:00 -0400

Done!

I heard there was going to be participation in Can Town during the Homestuck meetup at Fanime this year. Do you know if this is true?

Fri, 17 May 2013 00:50:34 -0400

We haven’t heard anything about one being held, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. We don’t get informed a lot, actually.

-Bri

If it's alright, I'd like to volunteer to be the Fort Hood/Killeen, Texas contact for Can Town.

You’ve been added!

Alright, so...

Do you know if someone is planning a Can Town meet up for Acen in a couple weeks?

I don’t believe we’ve heard anything about one, no.

I went to the Can Town Project at Anime Detour. It makes me happy to see what we Homestucks can do for a community.

Sadly, I forgot to bring a can in my bag to donate, but they had little buttons for sale and all proceeds went to the same charity as the cans did, so it was nice to contribute what I could. :3

chainofaffection:

“Have you ever come across a homeless individual and felt totally uncomfortable?

You see them and you know they are in need, but you are not sure what to do. You know that handing them money is not the best thing. But, you also see that they clearly have some needs. Their lips are chapped. They are hungry. They are thirsty. They are asking for help.

How can you help?

Here is a simple idea - blessing bags.

This was such an easy project. We are now going to keep a few “Blessing Bags” in our car so that when we do happen to see someone on the streets who is homeless, we can hand them a Blessing Bag. I first learned of these bags from my friend, Julie. I am using the picture of her bags (see above) because the ones we took were taken in horrible lighting and turned out really grainy and hard to see what is inside of them.

If you’d like to make your own Blessing Bags, this is what you would need:

Gallon size Ziplock bags

items to go in the bags, such as:

chap stick

packages of tissues

toothbrush and toothpaste

comb

soap

trail mix

granola bars

crackers

pack of gum

band aids

mouthwash

coins (could be used to make a phone call, or purchase a food item)

hand wipes

you could also put in a warm pair of socks, and maybe a Starbucks gift card

Assemble all the items in the bags, and maybe throw in a note of encouragement. Seal the bags and stow in your car for a moment of providence.

This would be a great activity to do with some other families. Each family could bring one of the items going into the bags (ex: toothbrushes). Set up all the items around a table and walk around it with the ziplocks and fill the bags.”

How about Denver, Colorado? ^U^

Looking for Fresno (CA) Homestucks!

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:37:00 -0400

dizzlefoshizzlestrider:

As many of you likely know, Ani-Jam is coming up! Wouldn’t it be swell if we had our own Can Town as well? I’d like to propose that those of us who are planning on cosplaying Homestuck (Or maybe you just want to help out! Cosplay not required.) bring cans of food so that we can build our own wonderful Town of Cans! Please let me know if you’re interested so we can work out a plan, yes? We need to figure out where we would like to donate the cans to, a time and place, maybe see if we can make some promotional art, and depending on the size we might even be able to get the Bee to cover us! We SHALL make our presence known!

Not much Homestuck goes on in Fresno, but I know there are fellow fans out there! Here’s our chance to do something positive during the Megapause! Homestucks unite! <3
