In response to COVID-19, Lyft is offering free ride credits to USHCC members using the $25 valued code CVUSHCC25 until May 31, 2020 for essential work related travel and essential services, as deemed by your locality (i.e. grocery store, pharmacy, critical healthcare services).  Essential rides may include the following, subject to local guidance:

·  Rides to “essential services” as deemed by your locality (such grocery store, food bank, pharmacy, hardware store)

·  Rides for families/caregivers/social workers to deliver needed supplies or services for homebound and/or self-isolating people (such as older adults)

·  Rides for senior citizens to go shopping during seniors-only shopping hours at a grocery store

This offer is intended for USHCC members.  Please do not post this on social media channels. 

Limited quantity available. Max 1 redemption per user. Valid for rides through May 31, 2020, 11:59PM (local time zone). Cannot be combined with other ride credits or offers. Subject to Lyft’s Terms of Service. All riders are asked to stay home if they are sick, and should work with a medical professional to discuss transportation options if they need to see a doctor. Per the CDC, anyone who suspects they may have or is diagnosed with COVID-19 should not use ridesharing.

Made possible by Facebook, the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce, the City of Fort Worth, and Visit Fort Worth have come together to launch an initiative to supply Fort Worth businesses with the equipment that they need during this difficult time. Together, we are protecting the Fort.

Each box of PPE supplies will include 1 box of 20 masks, 1 box of 50 pairs of gloves, and 20 8 oz bottles of sanitizer (10 gel hand sanitizer bottles and 10 liquid disinfectant spray). The number of boxes are limited and available while supplies last. They are available at no cost to you, thanks to the generosity of Facebook.

These supplies are priority preferred for Chamber affiliated and minority owned businesses with 25 or fewer employees as our supplies are very limited. We plan to do multiple distribution waves, and want to make the equipment available to as many of our community businesses as possible.

Press register to order and select your preferred pick up time frame. If you attempt to register and supplies are already gone, you may add yourself to the waiting list for the next round of distribution.

After completing your order, you will receive a confirmation email that informs you of the pick up location, which will be contactless and curbside. Upon arrival, show your confirmation email in order to retrieve your supplies.

Hecho posible por Facebook, la Cámara de Comercio de Fort Worth, la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de Fort Worth, la Cámara de Comercio Afro Americana Metropolitana de Fort Worth, la Ciudad de Fort Worth y Visit Fort Worth se han unido para lanzar una iniciativa para suplir a las empresas de Fort Worth con los equipos necesarios, durante este momento difícil. Juntos, estamos protegiendo el fuerte.

Cada caja de suministros de PPE incluirá 1 caja de 20 máscaras, 1 caja de 50 pares de guantes y 20 botellas de desinfectante de 8 oz (10 botellas de gel desinfectante para manos y 10 spray desinfectante líquido). El número de cajas es limitado y está disponible hasta agotar existencias. Están disponibles sin costo para usted, gracias a la generosidad de Facebook.

Estos suministros tienen preferencia prioritaria para las empresas afiliadas a la Cámara y propiedad de minorías con 25 empleados o menos, ya que nuestros suministros son muy limitados. Planeamos hacer múltiples etapas de distribución, y queremos que los equipos estén a la disponibilidad para la mayoria de los negocios de nuestra comunidad lo mas pronto posible.

Presione registrarse para ordenar y seleccione su marco de tiempo de recogida preferido. Si intenta registrarse y los suministros ya se han agotado, puede agregarse a la lista de espera para la próxima ronda de distribución.

Después de completar su pedido, recibirá un correo electrónico de confirmación que le informará de la ubicación de recogida, que será sin contacto y en la acera. A su llegada, muestre su correo electrónico de confirmación para recuperar sus suministros.
