Ford's Project Apollo to deliver 10 million masks across U.S.
(August 31, 2020) DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford’s Project Apollo, in cooperation with Ford Motor Company Fund, is launching a community donation program that will initially deliver 10 million masks to at-risk communities across the U.S. with limited access to personal protective equipment.
Project Apollo — Ford’s codename for its efforts to produce personal protective equipment, including respirators, face shields, medical gowns, plus ventilators for COVID-19 patients — has improved its ability to build medical-grade masks and is now manufacturing more than the company needs to keep its employees safe.
