Morongo Valley’s free turkey giveaway Operation Gobble Gobble returns to its original format 

In partnership with Golden State Water, the Morongo Valley CSD will be providing turkeys to Morongo Valley families for the upcoming holiday season once again. MVCSD General Manager Brittany Chavez told Z107.7 they’ll be returning to a turkey-only giveaway without community volunteers. Last year, the district had expanded the event to include a canned food drive alongside the turkey giveaway with the help of several volunteers to help with the larger distribution. Following the overwhelming response with an unfortunate incident, Operation Gobble Gobble is streamlining its efforts to its original format

This year, Golden State Water employees will be at the fire department to assist. While that may look new, Golden State Water and MVCSD regularly partnered on the turkey distribution before COVID, so they are bringing back that arrangement.

As always, Golden State Water has donated the funding for the turkeys. Last year, a local business owner matched their donation, allowing them to serve twice as many families. This year, Golden State Water has doubled its donation to help reach more families.

To receive your turkey, you must be a Morongo Valley resident. One per household, limited supply.

Call (760) 363-6454 or email b.chavez@morongovalleyfire.org to reserve your turkey.
