In Fort Worth, businesses with a permanent foothold in the community can further shield their operations and customers from health risks as the City Council continues its distribution of excess personal protective equipment (PPE). The decision to donate the residual PPE inventory to local entities has moved into additional phases, extending beyond the initial phase which concluded this January, according to a recent announcement by the city. While hand sanitizer stocks have been depleted, ample supplies of masks remain for businesses in need.
Entities looking to bolster their protective measures can readily submit their interest through an online form provided by the City. All form sections must be fully completed and requisite supporting documentation attached to qualify. Despite a first-come, first-served policy set to govern order fulfillment, the City has committed to attempt to partially fulfill all requests, ensuring a wider distribution of resources. This initiative underscores the City's engagement in supporting local businesses during ongoing health challenges.
Orders for PPE can be processed through the provided portal, as per the City of Fort Worth, closing on October 31 or earlier should supplies run out. The City advises businesses to act swiftly in submitting their forms to capitalize on the available PPE. Upon receipt of requests, arrangements will be made between the City and the requesting businesses for a pickup time convenient to both parties.
