Governor and First Lady Parson Announce Capitol Dome and Governor's Mansion to be Lighted Orange in Recognition of Hunger Action Month

JEFFERSON CITY — Today, Governor Mike Parson and First Lady Teresa Parson announced that the Missouri State Capitol and Governor's Mansion will be lighted orange beginning at sunset tonight, September 26, 2022, until sunrise tomorrow, September 27, 2022.

"When people think of hunger and food insecurity, they may often think of people in other cities, other states, or other nations, but the reality is these issues exist right here in our local communities," Governor and First Lady Parson said. "Extending a helping hand to those in need is one of the most important acts of service we are called to do, and we encourage all Missourians to do their part. By donating a non-perishable food item, volunteering at a food bank, or making a financial contribution, we can help do our part to ensure food is not an impossible choice. Together, we can make a difference."
