Infrastructure met community this Earth Week! What’s possible when gov't, private partners, & community like @vbgcq, @hydroquebecIntl, @CHPExpress, @NYPAenergy & @ConEdison come together? Good things like Sky Farm, providing education & 4,500+ lbs of produce to neighbors in 2025.

I was honored to join my dear friend @Costa4NY today at @VBGCQ’s Closing Ceremony.

In 2026, construction will begin on a new clubhouse serving 16,000 youth. @NYCCouncil has supported this transformational project with over $12M in funding.

Congratulations on this next chapter!

BIG NEWS! 🌟

Today I joined @GovKathyHochul, @ZohranKMamdani, and colleagues for the announcement of a $5 million investment by the Governor in the clubhouse. This will make this clubhouse the largest in NYS! Excited for Astoria families!

[Sen. Mike Gianaris @SenGianaris]

Joined @GovKathyHochul, @ZohranKMamdani, colleagues and neighbors to celebrate a milestone on the path to a new @vbgcq clubhouse. We secured over $7 million in state investment that will pay dividends for thousands of families who will benefit once the new center opens its doors

This year I'm excited to have given $1 million in capital funding to help the Boys and Girls Club build a new clubhouse & support over 12,000 more kids! VBGC has been a longtime pillar of the Queens community, and I'm so excited to keep working with them to serve local families.

"Headlines about missing children that evolve into drownings have become far too common from June to August," writes @Costa4NY. "It’s never been so important for us to reverse the trend and ensure as many NYC children as possible learn how to swim." https://t.co/Trw25JgTqM
