Nordstrom Is Sewing Masks to Donate to Healthcare Workers

Sitting on the sidelines isn't usually productive, so Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) is joining the fight against COVID-19 by sewing masks for healthcare providers.

The national department store chain, which is typically recognized for its selection of designer goods, has closed all of its stores due to the coronavirus pandemic. It has committed to paying its employees for the duration of the closures, and CEO Erik Nordstrom and his brother, President and Chief Brand Officer Pete Nordstrom, will decline their salaries until September.
