'GoodShop' is open

DAYVILLE ó United Services is calling on residents of the Quiet Corner to ìGoodShopî for their neighbors in need.  Simply go to the United Services website at www.UnitedServicesCT.org and click on the ìGoodShopî logo on the right side of the page.  The online shopping portal will then offer users discounts to hundreds of popular online retailers, with each retailer donating a percentage of the purchase price back to United Services at no cost to the purchaser.

By using GoodShop through United Services, consumers can help their neighbors in need. Proceeds from GoodShop sales through United Services will help to support critical programs including the only Domestic Violence shelters and services in Windham County, the Center for Autism, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support groups and other programs.

GoodShop offers access to hundreds of well known retailers including Amazon, Toys R Us, Apple, Gap, Target, Macyís, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others.†  The shopping experience and the prices are exactly the same as going to the online retailer directly, but by going through GoodShop, up to 37% of the purchase price will be donated back to United Services.  And, GoodShop will provide links to valuable coupons and discounts for each retailer.
