California State Assemblymember Ken Cooley and two water
companies serving his district – Golden State Water and California
American Water – will provide 300 turkeys with a combined weight of
more than two tons to local non-profits as part of the 25th annual
“Operation Gobble” program. The turkeys will be distributed at his
district office on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015.
“Operation Gobble” is a joint charitable venture between
California water companies and local state legislators and is set
to deliver thousands of turkeys to underprivileged families
throughout the state this Thanksgiving holiday. The unique program,
which started in 1990, pairs the local knowledge of state
legislators with the resources of the private sector to benefit
those in need.
During the program, participating investor-owned water companies
like California American Water and Golden State Water provide
turkeys and transportation in partnership with local elected
officials who offer local expertise in directing the donations to
community food banks, churches and other non-profit organizations.
This year, Save Mart Supermarket is providing the turkeys at their
cost to help reach even more families.
“The dedicated local employees of California American Water and
Golden State Water work hard to provide a high quality and reliable
water supply to thousands of homes and businesses in greater the
Sacramento region,” said Paul Schubert, Northern General Manager
for Golden State Water. “This program is an opportunity for us to
give back to our customers, our neighbors and our families.”
Millions of Californians lack sufficient resources to feed
themselves on a regular basis. Many of these residents are low
income families that will not be able to afford a Thanksgiving
meal.
Thanks to the efforts of Golden State Water, California American
Water, Assemblymember Cooley and our non-profit partners, many
Sacramento families will now have a Thanksgiving meal this holiday
season.
