New obsession: The Epicenter
“The Epicenter is a community-based housing and business resource center, instigating economic progress and creating decent shelter in the town of Green River in the desert of southeast Utah. It is a part of a larger umbrella non-profit organization, which serves the town with a myriad of unduplicated social services including affordable rental housing, a Boys & Girls Club, a soup kitchen, and a thrift store. Epicenter is a comprehensive creative studio. We are young, enthusiastic designers.”
Moving online is not an option for the many rural families living in the poorest parts of the country, where Internet service and cell phone reception are spotty or nonexistent, and few have computers. They rely on the post office for doing business, receiving their medications, and staying in contact with distant friends, family – and the rest of the world.
