Borgman Ford is proud to represent a company that has stepped up to the plate during this COVID era to take care of their neighbors. As we shared earlier this year, Ford switched production to make powered respirators for front-line workers. Now with the completion of their 50,000th ventilator recently, they've again pledged to produce and supply 100,000 masks through 2021 to help communities all over, West Michigan included.
In this recent story from Ford, you can learn more about what they're doing to produce these masks and the Michigan workers making it happen. Take a look below, including this short documentary called On The Line, which recently made its debut on YouTube!
Ford Announces Goal To Donate 100 Million Masks; New Documentary Celebrates Workforce Response To COVID-19
Following completion of its 50,000th ventilator to help clinicians treat COVID-19 patients, Ford is pivoting to target production of 100 million masks through 2021 for communities across the U.S. with limited access to personal protective equipment. The company, currently manufacturing 2.5 million medical-grade masks a week for its employees and at-risk communities, is growing the number of mask-making machines by mid- to late-October to increase production and deliver on its goal.
Ford is working with Ford Motor Company Fund, the company’s philanthropic arm, to identify donation recipients across the U.S. through a network of nonprofit and state and local partners. The company is focusing on military veterans, schools, food banks and African American communities, among others.
“As the pandemic continues, so does the spirit, grit and dedication of our Ford team and UAW partners to step up and contribute to help our country,” said Jim Hackett, Ford president and CEO. “Working together, we’re setting a goal of producing 100 million masks for families, children, individuals and communities who need them most.”
