A Grand Prairie woman and her coworkers helped assemble 3,000 face shields for local senior citizens, NBC 5’s Alanna Quillen reports.
It's the little things that can really make a difference.
For one Grand Prairie woman, you can make that 3,000 little things.
Michon Montgomery works for LIXIL, better known as American Standard, a water technology company that has access to 3D printers.
That means it has the capability to produce other products like face shields.
So with the help of her co-workers -- Jennifer Waugh, Alexis Johnson, Megan Morris and Aimee Rubealcaba -- Montgomery helped assemble 3,000 shields.
She delivered them herself to several senior and assisted living facilities across DFW.
Montgomery's daughter is a nurse at Medical City Dallas, which inspired her mission to give back to the community.

"I hear her stories and what they go through and I felt like I have a connection so close to her to know how busy they are and how risky their work is so I was glad to contribute," said Montgomery. "If this sparks ideas for others to do something small such as this, I think is a great idea."
LIXIL Americas is donating 50,000 face shields across the country through its local offices.
Montgomery said she's just a part of that mission and hopes she can inspire others to continue finding their own ways of giving back.
"The little things add up and they could make a huge difference," she said. "I appreciate what I can contribute, even though it may be small."
