Ford Motor Company has continued to support Team Rubicon, most recently having volunteers help the veteran-led organization’s local disaster recovery efforts in Florida.
The Ford employee volunteers traveled in late October to an area in the Sunshine State where residents were still dealing with damages and debris stemming from Hurricane Idalia. They – and an earlier group – lent a hand as part of a partnership with Team Rubicon and its "Greyshirts," according to Scott Rumfield, a veteran and Ford employee who participated.
Under it, Team Rubicon also received $2.5 million from the Ford Fund to direct it toward running "no-cost services for vulnerable communities as soon as disaster strikes" and other disaster-related efforts, the company said at the time. While volunteering with Team Rubicon in Florida, Rumfield said he saw crews use some of the Ford-provided vehicles, with some using them to charge power tools and traverse difficult terrain to get to properties. The company has given $1.
