Operation Gobble is the annual effort by employees of Boston Scientific who partner with the Child & Family Center to help families enjoy a holiday meal.

For many years, Boston Scientific has been a trusted community partner in helping Child & Family Center families experience the warmth and comfort of the holiday season.

Through their ongoing generosity, employees have collected and donated food and essential items to support families facing food insecurity during one of the most meaningful times of the year.

“This annual effort goes far beyond donations, it represents a deep commitment to helping families find stability, nourishment and peace of mind during the holidays,” said a spokesperson for Child & Family. “Thanks to Boston Scientific’s continued support, countless families have been able to gather around the table and enjoy a holiday meal together.”

Gift cards are especially needed as gifts for teens in the Adopt-A-Family effort.

In addition donated items are greatly appreciated and will support the children and families at the Child & Family Center. Please call the Center at (661) 259-9439 to arrange a drop-off time.
