For 27 years, “Operation Gobble” has put Thanksgiving turkeys on holiday tables of Morongo Valley families. Reporter Mike Lipsitz dishes up the stuffing…
Some six dozen holiday birds will land on the tables of as many needy families in Morongo Valley this Thanksgiving. The Morongo Valley Community Services District, or CSD, along with new Fire Chief Gary Yearsley and crew, and Golden State Water Company staff will give out the ready-to-roast birds starting at 9 a.m. this Friday, November 17 as part of “Operation Gobble.” The aim is to get the turkeys to those with limited resources who may otherwise go without a Thanksgiving dinner. To collect a bird, Morongo Valley residents should bring identification and proof of residence to the CSD office on Ocotillo Street next to the Morongo Valley Fire Station.
