Each meal kit included either a turkey or ham and ingredients to make traditional sides and a dessert.  "Mansion on a Mission is rooted in a simple belief: when we come together in service, we strengthen our state," said Governor Kehoe. "Claudia and I are proud to utilize the resources available to the Governor’s Mansion in a new way by making a direct impact on Missouri families. We look forward to using this initiative to highlight the good happening across Missouri, support families, and remind Missourians of the responsibility we all share to serve our neighbors."Mrs. Kehoe said beginning the program in Missouri's capital city was a natural choice."Delivering these Thanksgiving meals was a meaningful reminder of how we can all put our Missouri values in action through care, generosity, and community," said Mrs. Kehoe. "We were excited to begin this effort here in Jefferson City, our state's capital city and the home of the Governor's Mansion. As this initiative grows, we look forward to seeing its positive impact spread across our state as we reach new communities and continue serving Missourians who may be in need of a helping hand."This month’s Thanksgiving meal mission was also made possible by the generous donations of Cargill, Butterball, Central Dairy, the Missouri Pork Association, and the assistance of The Poultry Federation and the Missouri State Milk Board, as well as the collaboration of the Jefferson City School District.Mansion on a Mission will continue to partner with local and statewide organizations to serve Missourians and strengthen communities across the state. Future missions will take place in various regions across the state and will be promoted by the Governor’s Office. Photos from the Thanksgiving meal packing and deliveries are available on the Governor’s Flickr page. ABOUT MANSION ON A MISSIONMansion on a Mission is a community-based initiative dedicated to serving Missourians. In partnership with the Missouri Governor's Mansion, the First Family leads efforts to provide resources and support to those in need of a helping hand.
