Mayor Eric Adams signed earlier on Thursday two executive orders at the Mercy Center Bronx, an emergency food pantry, seeking to display his administration’s commitment to serving nutritious and healthy food citywide.
“If we want to encourage New Yorkers to be healthier, the city must set the tone,” Adams said. “The executive orders we are signing today build on the progress we have made to better align our policies with our public health priorities and show that New York City continues to lead the nation on food policy that centers equity and justice.”
