California State Assemblymember Kevin McCarty and California
American Water will provide 300 turkeys to local non-profits as
part of the 25th annual “Operation Gobble” program.
The turkeys will be distributed on Tuesday, Nov. 24 at the
Firehouse Community Center in Sacramento. Assemblymember Kevin
McCarty will be present to assist in the operation.
The turkeys were provided at cost by Save Mart Supermarkets and
will benefit numerous causes throughout the Sacramento area.
“I’m looking forward to help making Thanksgiving a time of
celebration for the working families in my district,” said
Assemblyman McCarty. “Everyone deserves to celebrate this time of
year.”
“Operation Gobble” is a joint charitable venture between
California water companies and local state legislators and is set
to deliver thousands of turkeys to under-privileged families
throughout the state this Thanksgiving holiday. Introduced in 1990,
the unique program 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 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.
“California American Water has about 100 employees who live and
work here in Sacramento,” said California American Water External
Affairs Manager Evan Jacobs. “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 California American Water,
Assemblymember Kevin McCarty and our non-profit partners, many
Sacramento families will now have a Thanksgiving meal this holiday
season.
