In the wake of devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in Florida, Ford, Ford Pro, and Ford Fund are working closely with emergency response organizations, nonprofit partners, local Ford dealers and regional team members to deliver support to communities in need.

Each nonprofit specializes in disaster relief efforts and is already on the ground in the area providing meals, shelter and assisting with the clearing of roads for emergency personnel.
• Deploying and loaning F-150 PowerBoost Hybrids and F-150 Lightnings with Pro Power Onboard, plus Transits and E-Transits for nonprofits to power their relief efforts.
