THIS SITE IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE GENEROSITY OF ELMWOOD CDJR IN EAST PROVIDENCE
For over two decades, our team has been proud to work closely with Elmwood Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) of East Providence. As a family-owned dealership and an integral part of the community since 1968, Elmwood CDJR has consistently sought ways to give back and uplift the people and businesses that make our local towns so special.
Elmwood CDJR has partnered with Discover Rhode Island to spotlight the East Bay communities and the small businesses that keep them thriving. These locally owned and operated businesses are the backbone of our local economy—driving employment, strengthening the tax base, and providing essential services and products to residents. Through this initiative, Elmwood CDJR is demonstrating a unique, hands-on commitment to supporting these pillars of the community.
While the dealership is known for its generous charitable contributions, this new effort goes beyond financial donations. Together with our Discover Rhode Island team, Elmwood CDJR is helping local businesses tell their stories. Elmwood’s employees play an active role in this project, and in the future, the dealership plans to extend the reach of these business profiles by featuring them on their website, further amplifying awareness and support for the community.
As a dealership rooted in East Providence, the L’Archevesque family—who own and operate Elmwood—embody the spirit of community. They live locally, shop at nearby stores, and their children are proud graduates of local schools.
Elmwood CDJR’s partnership with Discover Rhode Island is a celebration of the people, places, and businesses that make East Bay a wonderful place to live and work. It’s their way of saying, “We’re in this together.” We’re honored to join them in this endeavor and excited to share the stories of the businesses that shape our neighborhoods.
