PATH also supports the mayoral Breaking Bread, Building Bonds initiative. The Mayor has committed to 1,000 meals alongside conversations that cultivate social cohesion across New York City. This initiative aims at bringing everyday people together to learn about common bonds, share cultures and traditions, and break down silos between communities. These efforts seek to unite New Yorkers regardless of their background, build understanding, and aid in ending bias, hate, and discrimination. Uninterrupted distribution of PATH funds towards these dinners is critical to meeting this goal.
