The office of Assembly Member Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) held its third annual Operation Gobble turkey giveaway Nov. 20 at Rowley Park in Gardena.

The office distributed more than 250 turkeys to community organizations, senior centers, and non-profits, which will then distribute the turkeys to families in need ahead of Thursday’s holiday.

“It is always important to lend a helping hand,” Bradford said. “Thanksgiving is a time for being grateful for what we have, and remembering those who have less.”

Organizations are sent vouchers in advance for turkeys, with the time and place for pickup. Groups serving communities from Westchester to Gardena received five to 10 turkeys.

“I am always grateful to the organizations in my district who are eager to work with us in making Thanksgiving a little brighter for some needy families,” Bradford said. “Special thanks go to Golden State Water Company and California Water Service Company for their generous donation of turkeys, which are going to brighten hundreds of families’ holidays.”

Bradford currently represents the 51st Assembly District, comprised of the cities of Gardena, Hawthorne, Lawndale, and Inglewood, and the communities of Athens, Lennox, South Central LA, Westchester, Willowbrook, Playa Vista, and parts of Ladera Heights and West Compton.
Beginning in December, Bradford will represent the 62nd Assembly District, comprised of the cities of Hawthorne, Lawndale, Inglewood, and El Segundo, and the communities of North Gardena, Westchester, Venice, and Del Rey, and parts of Westmont and Park Mesa Heights.
