Figured its always nice to have something like this. For every report of some jerks fighting over toilet paper in an HEB, there are people actually going out of their way to help their neighbors, people giving each other appreciation and inspiration, and companies doing the right thing to try to help their communities.

I cant link to it because it's a private group, but If you search Houston Rodeo Vendors 2020, the admins of that group are working really hard to create an online marketplace for the vendors who rely on rodeo season to grow business. Really cool group and lots of the vendors are offering great deals and free shipping.
always wanted to watch the opera? The met is streaming them! (dont forget to donate to the arts every time you stream one.)

THIS IS THE HAPPY THREAD.
This thread is well needed and appreciated!
We're the owners of Mosquito Authority for the Southeast Houston area and we've put our trucks to good use for helping deliver groceries/meals to the elderly and disabled as needed.

HEB is hiring short term employees to assist. Good to get the grocery stores stocked and good for anybody who's been negatively affected by the shut downs.

I think we are all hoping for a happy ending!
That's great and all, but isn't working at HEB the opposite of social distancing?
Yes, and with the emoji I assume it's mostly in jest and sarcasm.beerad12man said:

But, at the end of the day, these are necessary jobs. If this is a long term deal, people will still need groceries. Take proper precautions for all necessary activities. Or, if you're truly worried, apply for the night time positions.
Either way, it'd take a special kind of person to have to deal with the insanity of HEB customers right now.
My 21 year old nephew works there. I feel for him.
That Dallas case recovery was a headline and led local broadcasts. Go somewhere else to play Eeyore.
Here's a blog that the President of the company I work for wrote that is centralizing links to accessing cultural institutions remotely - museums that have virtual tours of their exhibits, recorded performances from theatres, symphonies, operas that you can stream, live cams in aquariums etc.

Uber Eats is suspending delivery fees for local restaraunts!
Quote:
As more people stay home, local restaurants need your business more than ever. That's why we're waiving the Delivery Fee for all orders from every independent restaurant on Uber Eatsmore than 100,000 local restaurants on the app.
To support local restaurants and pay no Delivery Fee, look out for the EAT LOCAL banner in the app. Delivery Fees will be automatically waived on all applicable orders, which we hope will make eating from your local favorites even easier.
FROM GRUBHUB
Quote:
With dine-in down as much as 75%, local restaurants need our support more than ever. As their partner, it is Grubhub's responsibility to step up during this difficult time. So, we are deferring commission fees for impacted independent restaurants.
Delaying our revenue will increase the restaurant's cash flow, allowing them to pay their employees and weather this difficult situation. We are also matching all promotions run by independent restaurants with our Smart Promotions feature, to help make their investments in growth twice as effective.
To provide additional financial relief for our drivers and restaurants, we created the Grubhub Community Relief Fund. With this fund, all of your Donate the Change contributions will go to charitable organizations that support drivers and restaurants impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.
Local independent restaurants are the lifeblood of our communities and we must do everything we can to get them through this time of uncertainty. With empty dining rooms, restaurants are depending on pickup and delivery orders more than ever.
