“I see people wearing them all over the hospital.😊
The face shields make a big difference, making doctors and
nurses feel safe while giving excellent care!”
— A Nurse in Massachusetts
uShield.US is a grassroots voluntary effort to supply disposable face shields to protect frontline heroes from COVID-19. To address the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), a group of commercial product designers and collaborators are making a supply chain of face shields that can serve workers at high-volume in a clean environment.
The shields add an additional layer of protection over N95 or surgical masks, prolonging the life and use of the limited PPE that is available today. Donations help us provide 1 Box of 100 Face Shields to healthcare facilities unable to purchase face shields. All donations are tax deductible.
All donations to uShield.US are made through our 501(c) fiscal sponsor, Design Museum Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. EIN: 27-0816164. As such, all donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
