On a Mission to Help Neighborhoods With Scarce Resources for Pets

You've heard of food deserts. Kim Wolf wants you to think about what you might call pet food deserts – areas without pet stores, veterinary clinics, or any of the other resources owners need to care for their furry friends.

A social worker and animal welfare advocate living in Brooklyn, Wolf is raising funds for a project she hopes will address some of those needs. Her nascent nonprofit, Ruff Riders, will deliver free pet food to owners in the some of the borough's poorest neighborhoods – via cargo bike.
