$hop Riverside is a City of Riverside awareness campaign designed to educate residents on the benefits of shopping locally. Not only does it support small business owners in Riverside and help to create more jobs for our residents, but for every dollar you spend in the City, 1% goes back to the community to support city services, such as police, fire, museum exhibits, youth programs, libraries and much more!

When you shop locally, you are increasing your investment in your community and ultimately improving your quality of life. So, make your dollars count by supporting city services! 

As an added benefit, you can be rewarded by shopping local through the $hop Riverside Community Card that provides additional discounts while serving as a fundraising source for local school and non-profit organizations. The card has more than 200 participating local businesses and provides a wide range of special offers for the cardholder…from dining to shopping to relaxing at a spa, you can find businesses all over Riverside that will be proud to honor your card.  You can purchase the Community Card for $15 from several Riverside schools or online at SmartRiverside.com. (View the full list of locations to purchase the card and more details on the $hop Riverside program)
