This hybrid-program community center is sited in the Mount Hope neighborhood of Providence, RI. Combining a small-scale industrial compost facility with a dining hall and public food pantry, it simultaneously serves to absorb ultra-local food waste (thus redirecting it from its methane-producing fate in the Johnston, RI landfill), produce nutritious finished compost for soil remediation projects across the city, provide access to free groceries and affordable fresh-cooked meals, offer employment and fair wages to job-insecure locals, and knit the community together across socioeconomic divisions.
