密苏里州长 Kehoe 下令州议会穹顶 11 月 2 日晚点亮橙色：为第二届州雇员食物募捐活动揭幕
密苏里州科尔县杰斐逊城消息，州长 Mike Kehoe 办公室 10 月 30 日宣布，为配合第二届全州州雇员食物募捐活动启动，密苏里州议会大厦穹顶将于 11 月 2 日星期一日落时分起亮起橙色灯光，直至 11 月 3 日日出。
这场全州食物募捐由州社会服务厅、行政办公室与州长办公室联合举办，11 月 2 日持续至 12 月 11 日，号召全州州政府雇员捐赠耐储存的营养食品，由各地区食物银行分发给有需要的家庭，迎接节日季。各地区食物银行提供的收集桶将放置在全州多处州政府办公楼，捐赠物资将留在收集地所在社区。
Kehoe 表示，公共服务不止于工作时间，他为州团队成员再次聚起来帮助有需要的家庭感到自豪，希望每位密苏里居民都能通过捐赠、志愿服务或传播信息支持本地食物银行。橙色是饥饿意识与救饥行动的全国代表色。据 Feeding Missouri 联盟数据，其六家食物银行伙伴每年为全州 114 个县及圣路易斯市超过 100 万人提供食物。
Missouri Governor Kehoe Orders Capitol Dome Lighted Orange Nov. 2 to Kick Off Second Annual State Employee Food Drive
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Governor Mike Kehoe's office announced on October 30 that the Missouri State Capitol dome will shine orange from sunset on Monday, November 2, until sunrise on November 3, marking the kickoff of the second annual statewide State Employee Food Drive.
The drive, running from November 2 through December 11, is a joint effort of the Missouri Department of Social Services, the Office of Administration and the Governor's Office. It encourages state employees across Missouri to donate shelf-stable, nutritious foods for regional food banks supporting local families during the holiday season. Collection barrels provided by regional food banks will be placed in state office buildings across Missouri, and all donations will remain in the communities where they are collected.
"Public service doesn't end when the workday is over, and I'm incredibly proud that our state team members are once again coming together to help families in need this holiday season," Kehoe said. Orange is the national color of hunger awareness and hunger relief. The state is partnering with Feeding Missouri, a coalition of six food banks serving all 114 Missouri counties and the City of St. Louis, whose partners provide food to more than one million people each year.
