Ep140: Nordstrom's Give Back Clothing Line Fuels Youth Causes
Today on CauseTalk Radio, Megan and I talk to Tara Darrow, Director of Public Affairs & Corporate Social Responsibility for Nordstrom, about Treasure&Bond, Nordstrom’s private label, give-back brand.
Since the brand's inception in 2014, Nordstrom has raised $440,000 for charities like Girls Inc., Girls on the Run and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Megan, Tara and I discuss:
