Support Your Locals! Join us for year-end cash mobs

It has been A Year, hasn’t it?

Now’s your chance to show up for local neighborhoods and businesses with financial and moral support. Local Return is planning some cash mobs at popular local events.

What’s a cash mob? It’s an easy and fun way to show support for local businesses as a group. Here’s how to participate:

  1. Show up on one of these dates:
  2. Explore the charm of a local neighborhood, discover new-to-you locally-owned businesses, and meet your neighbors.
  3. If you can, spend some money to support the local businesses and take care of holiday shopping!
  4. Check in with Local Return to meet the people behind the pinwheel.

Rhode Island is lucky to have many bustling business districts, charming main streets, and neighborhood hubs, which means lots of opportunities to buy local. We encourage you to support them all, including:
