The City of Fort Worth City Council has authorized the City to donate excess personal protective equipment and hand sanitizer (PPE) to local organizations and nonprofits. This was first approved in June 2023 and was completed in January 2024.

Why it matters: Because the City still has excess PPE available, the City is now adding additional phases, which include a broader scope of entities that are eligible to receive the PPE.

What’s next: There are plenty of masks and hand sanitizers left. Beginning March 18, the following organizations are eligible to request PPE through the PPE Donation Program:

  • Nonprofit entities with a physical address in the City of Fort Worth
  • Nonprofit entities with a program location in the City of Fort Worth
  • Chambers of Commerce with a physical location in the City of Fort Worth
  • Teachers and other staff from schools that serve the City of Fort Worth

Interested entities should submit their PPE order using the online form or by emailing the form(PDF,148KB) to the email address below. The form must be completely filled out and any requested supporting information must be attached. The City will do its best to ensure that all requests are at least partially filled, but orders will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

What’s next: Forms must be submitted by March 25, 2024. In the event excess PPE remains after the completion of this phase of donations, the City will provide more information about another phase of the program.

Once forms are received, the City will contact organizations to schedule a pickup time during the week of April 1. All items must be picked up at City Hall (200 Texas St.) or the City Hall Annex (401 W. 13th St.).
