Major U.S. retailer Nordstrom has partnered with Good+Foundation to
continue its commitment to supporting the New York City community.
Good+Foundation is a leading nonprofit that pairs donations with
innovative services to help low-income families, in an effort to
dismantle multi-generational poverty.
Nordstrom is donating a grant of 250,000 dollars to
Good+Foundation. The grant will be used to support programmatic work
across all five boroughs of New York City, delivering essential goods
such as cribs, diapers and strollers to families in need. The donation
will also help provide families with access to services like job
training, couples counseling and parenting classes.
Last year, the retailer committed to donating 5 million dollars to
the New York City community by the end of 2020. Its donation to
Good+Foundation is its latest step towards this goal.
“We believe one of our most important responsibilities as a company
is giving back to the diverse communities where we live and work,”
Jamie Nordstrom said in a statement. “As we celebrate the opening of
Nordstrom NYC, our Manhattan Flagship store, we are thrilled to be
partnering with Good+Foundation to help improve the lives of thousands
of local children and families.”
