When times are tough, innovation abounds.
Safety Efforts & Community Outreach during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Mask Production
Lean Manager, Susan A. Nally, assembled an internal team to help produce face masks for RFC employees. To date, more than 1,000 masks have been created and being distributed to employees at all six locations across three states. RFC has also procured other masks for its employees during this time. Any N95 masks in RFC’s possession are being donated to local and state authorities to distribute to and support local healthcare workers.
3D Printed Strap Production
RFC’s Product and Business Development teams have been 3D printing straps for face masks. They have partnered with local hospitals to assess and meet needs. Straps are being delivered to local healthcare workers.
Green Lights Around Kentucky
Did you know that green is the color for empathy, compassion and renewal? Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has invited Kentucky residents and businesses to light their buildings in green to honor lives lost due to COVID-19. Thanks to the RFC Maintenance team, all RFC Shelbyville locations are lit in green.
