Christopher Dipnarine is the Founder & Executive Director of 4MyCiTy, Maryland’s largest community-driven food rescue and composting organization. Since 2018, he has built a movement that has rescued over 304 million pounds of food, provided 253 million meals, and saved communities an estimated $96 million annually, all while diverting millions of pounds of organic waste from landfills.
Recognized as a Forbes Nonprofit Council Sustainability Leader and one of Maryland’s Most Influential Leaders, Christopher has pioneered an integrated model that connects food access, environmental action, workforce development, and technology into one scalable system.
His vision is bold and simple: a future where no edible food is wasted and no family goes hungry.
What if food waste could feed families AND heal the planet?
4MyCiTy is making it happen. Since 2018, our Maryland based organization has rescued over 304 million pounds of food, provided 253 million meals, and diverted 70 million pounds of organic waste from landfills… all through one integrated, community-powered system.
Our model is simple but radical: rescue edible food before it’s wasted, compost what can’t be eaten (in just 24 hours), train young people for green jobs, and connect families to health services, all through a single app.
This isn’t charity. It’s a circular economy in action, and it’s designed to scale to every city in America and globally.
Zero Waste to Zero Hunger. The future looks like this. 🌱
Real change starts with real impact and real people.
No fancy plans. No complex tech. Just people.
4MyCiTy is built this way… every one of our 15 employees came through our food lines and now they’re leading the work in their communities.
That’s sustainability from the ground up, community by community.

We’re not just managing waste… we’re transforming it. ♻️
At 4MyCiTy, our next-generation digestion technology turns food waste into nutrient-rich soil in just 24 hours, driving a true Zero Waste to Zero Hunger ecosystem.
And we’re taking it even further… if it can be made in plastic, we’re making it compostable. From design to manufacturing to composting, we’re building a full circular system that reduces waste, lowers costs, and creates real environmental impact.
This is what sustainability looks like in action. 🌱
🌱 Transforming Communities Through Integrated Sustainability
At 4MyCiTy, we believe that fighting food waste and fighting inequality are the same fight.
We operate Maryland’s largest community-driven food rescue and composting hub… rescuing surplus food, redirecting it to families who need it, and turning what’s left into compost that feeds the next harvest.
But we’re more than a hub. We’re a movement that unites environmental action with social impact, training the next generation for sustainable jobs, advancing food and health security, and building neighborhoods where no one is left behind.
Our vision? A future where no edible food is wasted, every family has access to healthy resources, and every community has a Sustainability Hub powered by real-time data and economic opportunity.
The change starts local. The impact scales global.
Connect with us at ChangeNOW… let’s build that future together. 🤝♻️
In 2018, we asked a simple question: what if we could turn wasted food into real change?
Today, that answer is written in the lives of real families. A mother who stretched her grocery budget by $400 this month. A child who didn’t go to bed hungry. A family who kept the lights on because food was one less thing to worry about.
304 million pounds of food didn’t end up in a landfill, it ended up on someone’s table. 💚
70 million pounds of what couldn’t be eaten went back to the earth instead of a dumpster.
And somehow, a simple idea grew into $96 million in annual savings for the very communities that needed it most.
We didn’t do this. You did. Every donation, every volunteer hour, every share, it compounded into something none of us could have done alone.
This is what community looks like. 🌱
#4MyCity#FoodRescue#Maryland#CommunityImpact
None of this works without YOU. 🙌
4MyCiTy isn’t just an organization… it’s a movement powered by people.
Every pound of food rescued. Every bag of compost collected. Every family fed. It happens because community members show up, roll up their sleeves, and choose to make a difference right in their own backyard.
Our volunteers aren’t helpers, they’re leaders. They’re the heartbeat of Zero Waste to Zero Hunger.
