Ford Motor Company of Canada changed its Windsor, Ontario engine plant into a face shield production plant last month. <\/span>The company started to produce 2.75 million face shields to provide protection for front line workers including first responders and other medi<\/span>cal professionals. As these face shields start to be distributed, Sherwood Ford got the chance<\/span> to donate <\/span>300 of them to businesses in Sherwood Park and Edmonton, AB. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What businesses received face shields from Sherwood Ford?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone can do their part to wear face masks in public, but certain workers are at higher risk\u00a0from particle droplets in the air. Sherwood Ford donated their 300 face shields to workers at high risk.\u00a0These\u00a0include medical practitioners and related workers from the following businesses in\u00a0Sherwood Park, AB, and the surrounding area:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sherwood Ford employees were given the <\/span>opportunity<\/span> to donate and distribute 300 face shields to their community. <\/span>\u201cWe thought that senior care facilities and other community support services could definitely use some [personal protective equipment] in this difficult time,\u201d said Kurtis Hicks, General Manager at Sherwood Ford. <\/span>He went on to add that \u201cto be able to give back to our community in a meaningful way that makes a difference is definitely something we\u2019re so very happy to be able to do together with Ford of Canada during these unprecedented times.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you do to help Edmonton, AB area businesses this summer?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Staying safe and protected is one of the best ways to passively help healthcare businesses at this time. <\/span>Donating<\/span><\/a> to a local food bank <\/a>such as Strathcona Food Bank is a grea<\/span>t way to help the community when people are struggling financially. Finally, remember to show your gratitude for frontline workers who go to work each day to keep the community safe.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
