California American Water is proud to continue its commitment to community support through Operation Gobble, a seasonal initiative aimed at addressing food insecurity across California. This week, California American Water representatives joined Assemblywoman Maggy Krell to present a $2,500 donation to the Benito Juarez Foundation, helping ensure families in need have access to nutritious meals this holiday season.

“Food insecurity is a year-round challenge, and we believe addressing it requires ongoing, community-driven action,” said Sarah Leeper, President of California American Water. “Through Operation Gobble, we’re proud to partner with Assemblywoman Krell and provide support to organizations within the local community.”

The donation will help fund the Benito Juarez Foundation’s Emergency Food Program, which provides essential food assistance to farm workers and indigenous communities throughout the greater Sacramento region. The contribution will support the organization’s efforts to distribute food and other critical resources to those facing economic hardship.

“Strong communities are built on compassion and collaboration,” said Assemblywoman Maggy Krell. “By joining forces with California American Water and our local food pantries, we’re coming together to meet urgent needs with compassion and purpose.”

The check presentation took place at the Benito Juarez Foundation’s headquarters, located at 3621 Dayton Street in Sacramento, and included brief remarks from Assemblywoman Krell and representatives from California American Water.
