Support Us When You Shop at AMAZON This Holiday Season
The holidays are coming fast and furious and many of you already started shopping at Amazon.com for deep discounts and deals, and we don’t blame you.
We don’t think anyone quite offers Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals like Amazon, so make sure you don’t miss out on those shopping days either.
If Amazon is always your go-to website for the holiday season, then we encourage you to shop through AmazonSmile, because every purchase you make there, instantly helps us. We are so grateful that Amazon continues to give back!
Here’s how it works:
1. Visit: https://smile.amazon.com/
2. Select The Arc of Southington as your charitable organization.
3. Now shop away (just like normal).
4. At checkout, Amazon will donate 0.5% of all of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to The Arc of Southington.
It’s as simple as that, and we would love your support.
Happy Shopping & Happy Holidays!
Thank you as always, from all of us at The Arc.

Statewide Nonprofit Advocacy Day
I AM ESSENTIAL was this theme for this year’s Statewide Nonprofit Advocacy Day that took place at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Connecticut on April 10, 2019.
The Arc was proud to participate with 18 individuals that were there to show support and to tell policymakers to keep protecting essential community services.
The Arc is hoping to help stop proposed budget cuts that could significantly impact the required funds needed to keep our organization’s important services available to the community.
WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING AND FOR THE SUPPORT.
WE KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU IS ESSENTIAL!
