What 4MyCiTy does

4MyCiTy Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2018 and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, operating a 4-Phase Sustainability Plan (Reduce → Nourish → Create → Compost) that coordinates food rescue, free community food distribution, urban composting, green workforce training, and compostable product development around a single closed-loop system. Its core operational assets are the Sustainability Hub at 1133 Wilson Dr., 17 pop-up distribution sites across Baltimore, advanced aerobic digestion composting technology that produces OMRI-certified soil in 24-48 hours, and a native iOS/Android mobile application that tracks participant impact and issues CiTy4Change (C4C) tokens on an Avalanche L2 blockchain with CertiK-audited smart contracts and Coinbase-integrated wallets. The platform is delivered through five product lines: Food Rescue To Go!, Compost on the Go!, 4MyCiTyU! training, Health Connect!, and the CiTy4Change token ecosystem, with a wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary (4MyCiTy LLC) housing compostable product manufacturing and token operations. Revenue is sourced primarily from individual and corporate donations and grants (501(c)(3), EIN 84-2908913), with secondary streams from a T-Mobile community plan affiliate program ($44.44/month premium plan), eco product sales through 4MyCiTy LLC, and the nascent C4C token ecosystem. The customer base is Baltimore residents facing food insecurity, green economy workforce candidates, community health participants, organic-waste contributors, and corporate/individual donors, with pricing structured as recurring donations from $20 to $25,000+/month plus subscription revenue from the T-Mobile partnership.

Core offering

4MyCiTy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a four-phase sustainability plan focused on reducing food waste and relieving hunger. The organization rescues surplus food through mobile food rescue (Food Rescue To Go!), nourishes communities, creates job training opportunities for youth via 4MyCiTyU!, and composts organic waste through Compost on the Go!. It also runs the Health Connect! program, a mobile application integrated with the CiTy4Change (C4C) blockchain token, and a for-profit subsidiary (4MyCiTy LLC) producing compostable products.

Product overview

4MyCiTy operates a unified sustainability platform centered on its 4-Phase Sustainability Plan - a closed-loop system comprising four core programs (Food Rescue To Go!, Compost on the Go!, 4MyCiTyU!, and Health Connect!) coordinated through a native mobile app and underpinned by the CiTy4Change (C4C) blockchain token. The physical Sustainability Hub in Baltimore serves as the operational center where all programs integrate. The platform also includes compostable product manufacturing and urban composting technology. Participants engage through the mobile app to track their impact, earn C4C tokens, and access all four programs.
