Southampton - This Valentine's Day, 10,000 restaurants and 2,600 online retailers are donating a portion of what people spend on their sweeties to their charity of choice.

That means, every candlelit dinner and every box of chocolates will help find a cure for cancer, save the rainforest, help a homeless dog or contribute to thousands of other charities and schools across the country.

Through GoodShop.com and GoodDining.com, couples can buy gifts, dine out and help their favorite nonprofit at the same time (at no extra cost!).

There are currently more than 104,000 charities and schools benefitting from GoodShop and GoodDining.

With love in the air, GoodShop and GoodDining have joined together to create the perfect Valentine's Day: Users of these sites can buy gifts, use money saving coupons, and dine out - all while supporting their favorite charity or school.

Lovebirds are turning to GoodShop.com to get coupons, deals, and free shipping offers on flowers, chocolate, teddy bears and hundreds of other gifts that say "I love you."

The GoodShop and GoodDining team is revolutionizing online philanthropy so that no one is denied the opportunity to support the causes most important to them, especially during tough economic times. We are dedicated to empowering people to change the world through simple everyday actions said Scott Garell, CEO of GoodSearch. By shopping at GoodShop and dining out at a GoodDining restaurant, Valentines now have a simple and easy way to donate to their favorite cause while celebrating their love.
