The City Council's latest move stands as a beacon of civic solidarity, expanding its Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) donation program to an array of local organizations and non-profits. Initially taking off in June 2023, this philanthropic effort recently culminated in January 2024. Keeping the community's health and safety at the forefront, the city still finds itself with a surplus of PPE, hence, launching additional phases to the program, according to the City of Fort Worth.
Hand sanitizer and masks remain on deck by the plenty as the City of Fort Worth braces to widen the eligibility for these essential supplies. Starting March 18, a new lineup of benefactors, which include non-profit entities, Chambers of Commerce, and school staff within city bounds can step forward to claim their share. With a commitment to partially if not fully satisfy the demands, the city operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, attending to the welfare of its fold.
Entities raring to safeguard their constituencies using this bonanza should promptly submit their PPE order through the designated online form or contact Julie Robles at 817-392-2013 for more information. The request forms pack a deadline, with March 25 marked as the last day for submissions. Orders will have to be picked up at City Hall or the annex, with appointments slated for the week of April 1.
