If you're doing any online shopping while you're stuck at home, you've got no shortage of places to spend your hard-earned money. An easy way to narrow down your list? Support brands that are giving back during the coronavirus pandemic. Many retailers, for example, have pledged to continue to pay retail workers despite temporarily closing brick-and-mortar stores. Better still are the brands that are also hosting sales to give a little something back to their customers, too, making their much-loved goods even more affordable during these difficult times.

To help bolster these stores and their employees, we've compiled a list of sales you can currently shop at popular retailers such as Nordstrom, J.Crew, and H&M, all of which are committed to ensuring regular pay for staff during the COVID-19 outbreak.

1. Nordstrom

Thanks to a Spring sale that will run until Saturday, April 14, you can also score savings of up to 60% on your favorite brands, including Tory Burch, UGG, Zella, and more.

Shoppers can also rest assured that Nordstrom is striving to support its staff. In a statement, the company said, "We want to take care of [our employees] as best we can and will be providing them with pay and benefits during this two-week period as well as providing additional resources to help them through this challenging time."
