Councilman Robert Holden
continues to hosts events for
furry friends in the 30th Council
District.
Holden, a longtime animal welfare
advocate, hosted a pet food giveaway
at his district office, located at 64-69
Dry Harbor Rd. in Middle Village
on Saturday, May 24. The event was
held in partnership with the Animal
Care Centers of NYC.
Holden was joined by some volunteers
who helped give out some free
chow to community members as
well as reusable bags and personal
protective equipment like masks and
hand sanitizer.
In a Facebook post following the
event, Holden said it was “wonderful”
to see constituents stop by,
“especially the furry ones!”
“Our pet food giveaway was a great
success,” Holden wrote. “Our pets are
part of our families. No one should
have to give up their pet because of
the cost of food and other supplies,
as many of us still struggle through
the pandemic.”
The councilman, who hosted a pet
adoption event the week prior, will
host another pet-themed community
event this weekend.
On Saturday, May 29, Holden’s
office will hold a a free spay and
neutering clinic in partnership with
Councilman Robert Holden hosted a free pet food giveaway on May 22.
