California State Assembly Member Kevin McCarty and California
American Water will provide 250 turkeys to local Sacramento
residents as part of the 26th annual “Operation Gobble”
program.
The turkeys will be distributed on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at three
locations in Sacramento. Assembly Member 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 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, Assembly
Member Kevin McCarty and our non-profit partners, many Sacramento
families will now have a Thanksgiving meal this holiday season,”
said Jacobs.
