La Cocina

La Cocina is a nonprofit that supports informal food businesses, many led by women, immigrants, and people of color, in building stable and sustainable enterprises. Founded in 2005, the organization provides access to affordable commercial kitchen space, business training, and peer networks to support long-term economic mobility.

In November 2025, World Centric aligned with this mission by supplying our compostable foodware for their 20th anniversary San Francisco Street Food Festival. By equipping vendors at China Basin Park with our compostable products, we helped lead with sustainability and drive waste reduction during this milestone event.

River City Company

River City Company drives economic growth and enhances the quality of life in downtown Chattanooga by creating public initiatives that bring residents together in shared civic spaces.

One such initiative is Gratefull, a citywide Thanksgiving potluck held at a single long table in the street where everyone is welcome. To ensure this gathering remains sustainable, World Centric provided compostable clamshells, cups, and cutlery. Thanks to our collaboration with distribution partner NewTerra Compost, Gratefull successfully operated as a zero-waste event.

"We greatly appreciate the donation of materials from World Centric. Having compostable materials at this event is a perfect example of how we can all be a part of the solution and continue to do better. In addition, this donation of materials helps our small nonprofit offset expenses we otherwise would need to cover. We have an ocean of gratitude for World Centric!"
