What backs it

New York City has funded a program providing pet food to 22 food pantries across five boroughs, with $500,000 in city investment and individual pantries receiving vouchers like the $17,000 granted to St. John's Bread and Life, to prevent pet owners from having to choose between feeding themselves and their animals.

Worth noting

Pet food is expected to arrive in about two weeks from the article date.
