California State Senator Jim Nielsen and California American
Water will provide 100 turkeys 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. This
year, Save Mart Supermarket is providing the turkeys at their cost
to help reach even more families.
“Operation Gobble” is a joint charitable venture between
California water companies and local State legislators and is set
to deliver thousands of pounds of turkeys to under-privileged
families throughout the state this Thanksgiving holiday. The unique
program, which began in 1990, pairs the local knowledge of state
legislators with the resources of the private sector to benefit
those in need.
"Thanks to the generosity of California American Water and its
employees, we can share the great tradition of having turkeys on
Thanksgiving," said Senator Nielsen.
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 more than 70 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, State
Senator Nielsen and our non-profit partners, many Sacramento
families will now have a Thanksgiving meal this holiday season.
