On two separate occasions in October and November, PAWS NY partnered with 9 Million Reasons, a Long Island City-based food pantry, to distribute pet food and supplies alongside the organization’s regular weekly food pick-up service. Thanks to a donation from Tom’s Pet Supply, we were able to distribute 640.5 pounds of dog food, plus 67 pounds of cat food and 130 pounds of litter and other supplies from the PAWS NY Pet Pantry in October.

And in November, we distributed an additional 167 pounds of dog food, 66 pounds of cat food, and 54 pounds of litter and supplies. Overall, this new initiative helped nearly 50 pet guardians in Queens continue to care for their beloved animal companions.

“I am so happy to get this dog food, it helps out so much,” said one pet guardian who came to the event. “It’s hard to afford food nowadays.”

As we move into 2024, PAWS NY hopes to host these public Pet Pantry events more often, in all five boroughs of NYC. Please consider donating to our Holiday Fundraising Campaign to help support the Pet Pantry and other programs from PAWS NY.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, PAWS NY has been working tirelessly to provide pet food deliveries, as well as emergency vet care and foster services, to our clients across New York City. PAWS is not just continuing with these services, but  increasing support during this crisis. 

Dolly and Max are two loveable pups that call Sara their dog-mom! Sara is 82 years old and has been a client with PAWS NY for a few years. She faces multiple health challenges that make it hard for her to get out, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

During the crisis, we’ve been able to cover the cost of food for her dogs so she doesn’t have to leave the apartment, which has been a HUGE help.

“I’m so nervous about going outside now and it’s hard for me to carry their food multiple blocks. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Sara is just one of PAWS NY’s many clients who are receiving pet food deliveries and other support during this crisis. Donate today to help us continue this support now and in the future.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our Pet Pantry Sponsorship Program!  If you want to help a client and their pet but don’t have the ability to commit to a set schedule as a volunteer, consider becoming a Pet Pantry Sponsor!  As a Sponsor, you will still be able to interact with clients and pets but on a schedule that works for you!

How It Works: You are matched with a client and pet of your choice.  You will purchase and deliver pet food to them as frequently or infrequently as you’d like.  With this new program, you will make a significant impact without a significant time commitment, plus all of your pantry donations are tax-deductible.

For more information, or to become a Pet Pantry Sponsor, please contact us at info@pawsny.org or 917.733.2170!
