TEAM 

A team of volunteers give their time, energy and talent to keep this site running and relevant. This effort is 100% about giving, lifting up others and expecting nothing in return. Team members do not profit anything off of the site nor is the site used for any financial or personal gain.  ​Listings on ShopBlackCT.com are free and additional support is provided through pro bono digital marketing, writing and photography services. Businesses never have to pay for any services to receive support from ShopBlackCT.
