Fellow SHIFTers

Shift Local recently connected with a couple of other buy local or support local advocates.  It’s wonderful to see others who are working towards what Shift Local is trying to do for the East Bay.  Check them out!

Smallknot is based in New York and they engage consumers to help fund their local businesses.  They’ve been putting on a few cash mobs and we recently connected to see how we can both organize cash mobs better.  Here are some great articles about them:

Offer Glass is organizing a few “flash fundraisers” in the next few weeks where 20% of the purchase will be donated back to the customers’ choice of nonprofits directly supporting the local community.  We also connected with them to talk about cash mobs and other buy local events.
