500 free Thanksgiving turkeys to local
non-profits to help food insecure population
California American Water will distribute 500 turkeys to local
non-profits as part of its annual “Operation Gobble” program. The
turkeys will be donated to the Monterey County Food Bank, Salvation
Army and Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, who in turn
will distribute them to those in need. California American Water
employees will volunteer to help serve the annual meal hosted by
the Boys & Girls Clubs on the afternoon before
Thanksgiving.
"We do our best to support our local community organizations
throughout the year especially during the holidays," said
California American Water General Manager Eric Sabolsice. "It’s a
time when we all reflect on just how fortunate we are and how we
might be able to help those in need."
"We value and depend on the support of community partners like
California American Water," said Michael L. Jackson, EdD.,
President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey
County.
Operation Gobble is a joint philanthropic venture between
California water companies and non-profits that is set to deliver
an estimated 30,000 turkeys to families in need throughout the
state this Thanksgiving holiday.
Since 1990, the program has paired the resources of the private
and public sectors to benefit those in need. Participating
investor-owned water companies, such as California American Water,
provide turkeys.
