Quarantine Survival: Rideshare Startup Alto Launches More On‑Demand Delivery Services
Dallas-based Alto is now delivering essential goods (toilet paper, eggs, milk, more), meals (rotating restaurants), and ready-to-cook items (Wagyu beef and meal kits).

FOOD + BEV
Although local restaurants and distributors are struggling as we #FlattenTheCurve, that hasn’t stopped them from helping. Here’s a few recent updates:

• Savor in Klyde Warren Park is dropping off free individually packaged, homemade pasta meals to the frontline healthcare workers at UT Southwestern.
 
• Fort Worth’s TX Whiskey has made a temporary transition from producing spirits to sanitizer. As of today, the team has produced 800 gallons, and is positioned to make another 5,000 bottles. The first 150 gallons went to first responders in the area.
 
• Three Dallas coffee shops have repurposed their spaces to help out with coronavirus-related issues. Full City Rooster in the Cedars now has a dedicated collection and storage space for donated PPE. Noble Coyote Coffee in Expo Park is hosting free virtual educational classes while people are stuck at home. And Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters created a public pantry to alleviate grocery-store nightmares, even giving away items for free.

"We believe that science is the answer."

Nicole Small
CEO
Lyda Hill Philanthropies
...on developing workforce and healthcare solutions, via The DMN.
 

Lyda Hill Philanthropies has announced the Lone Star Prize, a statewide competition with a $10 million grant on the line. It's looking for a major idea that will improve healthcare, protect the environment, or boost the Texan workforce. Any nonprofit, for-profit enterprise, or team can apply, as long as they have an existing operating presence in Texas.
 
“Given this pandemic and the challenges facing our state, our nation and globally, we’re excited to put capital to work to develop new workforce and health care solutions,” Small told The DMN. 
 
Last month, Lyda Hill announced it would display the most life-size statues of women at once through an IF/THEN exhibit. IF/THEN is a first-of-its-kind coalition that celebrates female STEM professionals and role models from a variety of industries.
