JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Jay Nixon today announced that the freewill offering taken at the conclusion of today’s Governor’s Prayer Breakfast raised $2,714 for The Samaritan Center in Jefferson City. The Prayer Breakfast offerings, which began with Gov. Nixon’s first prayer breakfast in 2010, have raised $22,323 total for the center, an interfaith social service agency that has worked to meet the emergency and crisis needs of mid-Missourians since 1987. Marylyn DeFeo is the founder and volunteer executive director of the center.
The amount is in addition to the thousands of dollars from the breakfast that have benefited the Governor’s Student Leadership Forum on Faith and Values over the years.
