Mayor Mamdani announces New York City’s first city-funded pet food pantry
On June 30, the Mamdani administration and the New York City Council announced their agreement on the 2027 fiscal budget.
Along with things like a $54 million increase to fund a Fair Fares expansion for public transit, $175 million allocated to expand housing vouchers, and an additional $79.1 million set aside to restore funding for parks, libraries, and cultural institutions, one line item stood out:
$750,000 will be allocated to launch New York City government’s first-ever pet food pantry pilot program.
Why is this good news? People who need assistance affording their own groceries may also need support getting food for their beloved pets, and this initiative recognizes the importance of caring for the city’s pets. This government program also supports existing food pantries and pet clinics.

A report found that access to free naloxone has prevented 4 out of 5 potentially fatal overdoses in British Columbia
It’s been a decade since the Canadian province of British Columbia declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency, and thousands of people have since tragically died.
According to a new study, thousands more could have died if not for one harm reduction effort: providing free, take-home naloxone services, which it estimates prevented between 76% and 80% of potential deaths due to opioid poisoning.
