Print pageFood makes a natural community development tool
If it's true that the quickest way to people's hearts is through their stomach, then it's no surprise why Champs Diner in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, is beloved by so many in the community. Champs was not always a local winner; the restaurant suffered a few knockout punches throughout the years until it was rescued in 2015 by NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley.
The news is awash with the damage wrought by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. But these natural disasters should not have surprised anyone; they are only the latest in a string of worsening weather events that is expected to continue.
