Purchases you make through our links may earn us a commission.Over the past few months, we’ve all likely felt the impact of the coronavirus (COVIID-19) pandemic. But some have felt it more than others, whether it’s the essential workers and healthcare providers who put their lives on the line every day to protect others, the small businesses struggling to stay afloat, or the people who have lost their jobs and are experiencing financial hardship. To help those in need, many retailers have committed to giving back to their local and global communities.Some, like Under Armour and Nordstrom, have pivoted their factories to start producing personal protective equipment (PPE). Others, like Crocs and Nike, have donated thousands of shoes to those on the frontlines. And others, like New Balance and The North Face, have pledged millions of dollars to COVID-19 relief efforts both in the U.S. and around the world.Our team at Reviewed is passionate about products that you can feel good about buying.
