El Paso families looking to round out their Thanksgiving spread will have a chance to take home a free turkey, thanks to a generous initiative by local Cesar Ornelas Law. The firm is set to distribute over 1,000 turkeys in partnership with Operation H.O.P.E. on Friday, Nov. 22, starting at 10 a.m. at the El Paso County Coliseum. The event, designed to help ease holiday expenses, is expected to draw a large crowd, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early. Each family will be eligible to receive one turkey on a first-come, first-served basis, as reported by KFOX-TV.
The turkey giveaway is more than a one-off act of goodwill; it reflects the ethos of Cesar Ornelas Law to consistently provide support to the community that sustains it. "At Cesar Ornelas Law, we are profoundly grateful for the trust the community places in us," Ornelas expressed in a statement. He further conveyed the firm's responsibility to "use our platform to give back," as he told KFOX-TV. The law firm believes this substantial turkey distribution will help to ensure that more families can enjoy the holiday without the added stress of food costs.
In unity with this sentiment of giving back, KTSM highlighted the event's underpinning philosophy. Cesar Ornelas Law views their service to extend beyond the legal representation in the courtroom, embracing a broader commitment to the welfare of the families they represent and the larger community.
A spokesperson for the law firm re-emphasized this commitment to "treating the community like family," which was originally noted by KVIA. The spokesperson acknowledged the financial toll the Thanksgiving holiday can place on families. "The firm recognizes that the Thanksgiving holiday can be financially challenging for many, and this event is designed to offer tangible support and express heartfelt thanks to the community that supports the firm year-round," they said, as per KVIA. The aim is to provide each family with something to be thankful for, easing the burden of holiday expenses while simultaneously fostering a sense of community and shared prosperity.
