Making #goodthings for our first responders and healthcare workers is a family occasion at @firstbuild and GEA. We ❤️ these photos sent to us from employees of their young volunteers assembling face shields at home. More than 9,000 shields have been made and donated to @uofl!

On Friday, 500 intubation shields built by @firstbuild and GEA engineers were sent to @GovAndyBeshear and #TeamKentucky to be distributed to hospitals statewide. Thanks to everyone on the frontlines working to keep us safe during these tough times. #BetterTogether #goodthings

🎥Watch a day in the life of making PPE! Here's a behind-the-scenes look at manufacturing 500 intubation shields to help combat Covid-19. #TeamKentucky #TogetherKy @Norton_Health @GovAndyBeshear youtu.be/YzQ8me8-tzo

Thank you, @GovAndyBeshear and @StevenStackMD, for recognizing our efforts with @firstbuild to manufacture intubation shields for hospitals across the state. We’re honored to be on #TeamKentucky and help deliver #goodthings for those on the frontlines of the #COVID19 response.

Thank you @neil_arnett 🙏. We’re honored to help our heroes on the frontline! #TeamKentucky

This week we joined our local union in delivering face shields to @ridetarc. Manufactured in the 3D printing labs at GEA and @firstbuild, we’re honored to make and donate PPE that helps keep the TARC drivers who are moving our community safe. #BetterTogether #goodthings

We're teaming with @firstbuild to make intubation shields that help protect caregivers at @Norton_Health and other medical facilities across the state. 500+ shields are being produced and provided to #TeamKentucky! #BetterTogether #TogetherKY

Today we assembled 3,380 face shields. Many thanks 🙏🙏to everyone who has contributed to the effort to make protective gear for healthcare workers. This genuinely makes a difference in the fight against COVID-19! #TeamKentucky #TogetherKy youtu.be/a946begTJPk

🗣️Calling all makers: If you have a 3-D printer at home, consider joining our effort with @firstbuild and @uofl to make thousands of face shields for the medical community. 📝: bit.ly/ShieldTemplate #BetterTogether #TeamKentucky

.@GEAppliancesCo GE, @firstbuild FirstBuild, @uofl UofL team up to manufacture face shields lanereport.com/124029/2020/04…

Join in on the effort to 3D print headbands for face shields! See attached tweet for the template and drop-off information. Due to heavy demand, they are going out as quickly as we make them. Help spread the word❤️ #TeamKentucky #TogetherKy #3Dprinting

Makers with a home 3D printer can help produce headbands from the @Prusa3D designed template👇👇. When finished, drop headbands inside the box (outside of) FirstBuild at 333 E. Brandeis Ave. We’ll process with @uofl and distribute to healthcare workers all over the region.
