Which French consulate covers Woonsocket?
It is a matter of geography: Rhode Island is in the district of the Consulate General of France in Boston, and so is Woonsocket.
For a passport, Woonsocket is 44 miles from Boston: one trip if you are on its Registre, since Boston mails the new passport home if you provide a USPS red Priority Mail or blue Priority Mail Express envelope with a tracking number; otherwise a second short trip to collect it, without an appointment, Monday to Thursday 9 am to 12:30 pm and 2:30 to 4 pm, Friday 9 am to 12:30 pm.
The ID card is never mailed, and no honorary consul of the Boston district with a published office is within 250 miles of Woonsocket: count on two trips for it.
