Watch the video documentation of Haystack’s work in response to the pandemic. Beginning in 2020 and continuing over an eighteen-month period, the Haystack Fab Lab produced 6,000 individual items of personal protective equipment (PPE) which were donated to over 100 organizations in Hancock County (Maine) and the surrounding region.
This project began in response to the pandemic and sought to bring local resources and expertise to the shortage of available PPE in our community. This was made possible thanks to partnerships with community members and local organizations and through the remarkable leadership of Haystack’s Technology Director, James Rutter.
Special thanks to the amazing Galen Koch (@galenkoch), Founder + Lead Producer of The First Coast (@thefirstcoast), and Photojournalist, Greta Rybus (@gretarybus) for their work in documenting this project.
