肯塔基州「团队肯塔基」食物募捐向公众开放：捐赠收至11月18日
肯塔基州州长 Andy Beshear 11月4日在州府 Frankfort 宣布，第二届「团队肯塔基食物募捐」（Team Kentucky Food Drive）自11月1日面向州政府雇员启动后，即日起向公众开放捐赠，收至11月18日（周三）。公众可捐赠不易腐坏的食品，捐得物资将经 Feeding Kentucky 分发至全州120个县的900家合作食物赈济点，并送往 Christian Appalachian Project 与 Capital City Activity Center。
公众投放点设在 Frankfort 的 1239 Wilkinson Blvd.，每周一、三、五中午12时30分至下午3时（东部时间）开放，民众可驾车直达投放；州政府雇员可在 Frankfort 各主要州办公大楼大堂及 Louisville 的 L&N 大楼内的捐赠箱投放，也可使用同一驾车投放点。州长办公室介绍，首届食物募捐于2025年11月举行，共收集逾12,000件食品，帮助有需要的家庭在假期期间免于挨饿。
Beshear 表示，许多邻居正面临物价上涨等困难，「在感恩节与圣诞节临近之际，团队肯塔基致力于陪伴有需要的人。靠这次募捐与肯塔基人的慷慨善意，我们能确保邻居们桌上有足够的食物，一起对抗饥饿。」州长办公室说，Beshear 政府长期把抗击饥饿列为优先事项，包括疫情期间把长者送餐计划的每周产量翻倍、消除既有轮候名单，并推动多项让学生在暑假期间获得食物的计划。

Team Kentucky Food Drive Opens to Public Donations Through November 18
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced in Frankfort on November 4 that the second annual Team Kentucky Food Drive, launched on November 1 for state employees, is now open to public donations through Wednesday, November 18. Donations of non-perishable food will be distributed through Feeding Kentucky, which serves all 120 counties through 900 partner food pantries, as well as the Christian Appalachian Project and the Capital City Activity Center.
The public can drop off items on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST at 1239 Wilkinson Blvd. in Frankfort, a drive-through drop-off location. State employees can use donation boxes in the lobbies of major state office buildings in Frankfort and the L&N Building in Louisville, or the same drive-through site. The first Team Kentucky Food Drive, held in November 2025, collected over 12,000 items to help families in need during the holiday season.
"As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, Team Kentucky is committed to being there for those in need. Through this food drive and the generosity and kindness of our people, we can make sure our neighbors have enough food on the table as we work together to fight hunger," Beshear said. His office said the administration has made fighting hunger a priority, including doubling weekly senior-meals production during the pandemic, clearing the program's waitlist, and launching programs that feed students over summer break.
