SEATTLE, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom
announced today that Treasure & Bond, the company's give-back
brand that donates 2.5% of net sales, will partner with nonprofit
organizations in five regions to support different initiatives,
including housing, mental health services and job training for
young people experiencing homelessness.
This is a new strategy for Treasure & Bond that will enable
the brand to offer more localized support in key communities
Nordstrom serves. Previously, the brand's beneficiary changed each
year, donating to nationally acclaimed charities such as YWCA, Boys
and Girls Club and more.
"Our new strategy of partnering with smaller organizations in
specific regions allows us to connect with the communities where we
do business in an impactful way," said Jennifer Jackson
Brown, EVP, President of Nordstrom Product Group at Nordstrom.
"Treasure & Bond's give-back promise remains at the heart of
the brand, and we're excited to show our customers another way
Nordstrom is working to leave the world better than we found
it."
The organizations include: The Ali Forney Center in New York City; Covenant House in Toronto; The Night Ministry in Chicago; YouthCare in Seattle and Youth Emerging Stronger in
Los Angeles.
