Registration Now Open for Marshfield Area United Way’s “United We Can”
Monday, February 2nd, 2026 -- 8:01 AM
Marshfield Area United Way’s United We Can event is back.
Businesses and organizations will build sculptures using non-perishable food items (not expired or within 3 months of expiration). Sculptures should be 95% made from pantry items, though structural supports can be used to keep the sculpture sound.
Labels on cans and boxes cannot be damaged or removed. Once completed, teams will submit their sculpture photos to the Marshfield Area United Way, where they will be featured in a Facebook voting contest.
The public will vote for their favorites using a thumbs up (1 point) or a heart (2 points). Donations will support even more local initiatives, including Little Free Pantries of Marshfield, Soup or Socks Food Pantry, Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, and the Marshfield Area United Way NOW Program.
