*Governor and Mrs. Kehoe Launch Mansion on a Mission Initiative*

"Deliver 100 Thanksgiving meals for local Jefferson City families"

*JEFFERSON CITY, MO *– Today, Governor Mike Kehoe and Mrs. Claudia Kehoe announced the launch of "Mansion on a Mission", a community service initiative led by the First Family and the Missouri Governor’s Mansion.

The initiative’s first mission took place earlier today, Thursday, November 20, in Jefferson City, as the Governor and Mrs. Kehoe, along with the Governor’s Office and Mansion staff, delivered 100 Thanksgiving meals for families within the Jefferson City School District. 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 [ [link removed] ].
