Save Money in Riverside

In these economic times, we know everyone is looking for ways to save money on the items they buy. The City of Riverside, in partnership with Scholars Discount Card, are now offering the $hop Riverside Community Card.

This card will not only save you money on dining out, enjoying leisurely family activities, shopping and more, but it will help many local schools. The $hop Riverside Community Card is good at more than 170 local businesses.

When you shop local you are supporting your community as 1% of all sales tax revenue is returned to the City’s general fund for educational programs, libraries, museum exhibits, parks and police and fire services, to name a few.
