California State Senator Richard Pan and California American
Water will provide about 250 turkeys to local non-profits at his
district office on Tuesday Nov. 22 as part of the 27th annual
“Operation Gobble” program.
“I am proud to partner with our local non-profit partners in the
delivery of almost two tons of turkeys in the Sacramento region
this Thanksgiving,” said Dr. Richard Pan, state senator and
pediatrician. “While I am grateful our partnership is helping to
put food on tables this holiday season, it’s a reminder that too
many families go without throughout the year.”
The turkeys were provided at cost by Save Mart Supermarkets and
will benefit numerous causes throughout the Sacramento area.
“Operation Gobble” is a charitable joint-venture between
California water companies and local state legislators and is set
to deliver thousands of turkeys to underprivileged families
throughout the state this Thanksgiving holiday.
The unique program, which started in 1990, 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, Senator Pan
and our non-profit partners, many Sacramento families will now have
a Thanksgiving meal this holiday season.
