Orlando law firm gives away 1,000 free Thanksgiving turkeys
Headline News
Hundreds of hungry families lined up outside the Pendás Law Firm’s Orlando office early Tuesday morning, hoping to receive a free Thanksgiving turkey.
Starting at 8 a.m., attorney Lou Pendás and a group of volunteers began handing out frozen turkeys to the first 1,000 families in line, no questions asked.
Pendás said anyone could come and line up for a free turkey at his office, on East Colonial Drive.
But the giveaway was intended for families in need first and foremost, so organizers said they trusted Central Floridians to abide by the honor system.
The first few people in line showed up outside the law office around 3 a.m. Tuesday, hoping for a free holiday meal during an especially rough year.
It’s the second consecutive year the Pendás Law Firm gave away tons’ worth of turkeys.
Lou Pendás said he originally came up with idea after a number of clients told him they were worried about struggling during the holidays.
The day before the giveaway in Orlando, Pendás and his family handed out another 1,000 frozen birds at his firm’s Tampa office.
