400 free Thanksgiving turkeys to local
non-profits to help food insecure population
California American Water will distribute 400 turkeys to local
non-profits on November 15th 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 also volunteer to help
prepare and serve holiday meals at the Boys & Girls Club in
Seaside on Thursday and Friday of this week.
“California American Water takes great pride in serving the
Monterey Peninsula and we do our best to support community
organizations throughout the year, especially during the holidays,"
said General Manager Eric Sabolsice. “It’s a time to be grateful
for our blessings and to reflect on how we can better help
others.”
Michael L. Jackson, President & CEO Boys & Girls Clubs
of Monterey County, said "California American Water Company is one
of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County’s best partners.
Their donation of 150 turkeys to help feed our members and their
families during the holiday season is very generous, as we will
serve over 1,000 meals during this period and provide 100 families
with a food box.”
Operation Gobble is a joint philanthropic venture between
California’s investor-owned water companies, local nonprofit
organizations and policymakers to distribute turkeys and donations
to families during Thanksgiving. This annual holiday campaign was
initiated in 1988 by the California Water Association and has fed
hundreds of thousands of people in need.
