California American Water Teams Up With State Legislators for \u201cOperation Gobble\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Company works with elected officials to make contributions to Local Non-profits<\/i><\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nCalifornia American Water is working with state legislators across the state in areas where the company serves to make donations and other contributions to local non-profits as part of its 30th<\/sup> annual \u201cOperation Gobble\u201d program.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOperation Gobble\u201d is a joint charitable venture between California water companies and local state legislators that normally delivers thousands of turkeys to underprivileged families throughout the state during the Thanksgiving holiday. Introduced in 1990, the program pairs the local knowledge of elected officials with the resources of the private sector to benefit those in need within the areas the company serves.\n<\/p>\n

\nDue the pandemic and social distancing restrictions, California American Water has changed its giving method to ensure donations are received safely. Working with state elected leaders, the company will provide donations to families in need. In addition, California American Water is making contributions to foodbanks and other nonprofits across the state.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cInstead of providing turkeys directly to recipients, we are using alternatives like direct donations and contributions to local nonprofits in the areas we serve,\u201d said Evan Jacobs, California American Water\u2019s Director of Regulatory Policy. \u201cThis will provide families the ability to acquire a complete Thanksgiving meal all while adhering to COVID safety protocols.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nCalifornia American Water is working with state elected leaders in Placer, Sacramento, Sonoma, Monterey County and Southern California to aid non-profits where the company serves a combined total of more than 680,000 customers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis annual program has taken on a new and urgent relevance against the backdrop of the pandemic,\u201d Jacobs said. \u201cFamilies, particularly in the communities we serve, have been hit hard by the historic job losses that affected the country. We are proud to be help out those in need.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMillions 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.\n<\/p>\n
