Los Angeles, California, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jacoby & Meyers, California’s most experienced and successful personal injury law firm, continued its commitment to giving back to the Los Angeles community by sponsoring the Los Angeles Dodgers’ annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, November 19.
The event, held at the Top of the Park, brought together Dodger players Anthony Banda, Tony Gonsolin, Landon Knack, alum Billy Ashley and legend Manny Mota, along with volunteers from Jacoby & Meyers, to distribute 2,000 Thanksgiving meal kits to Los Angeles families, feeding an estimated 8,000 individuals.
The Dodgers collaborated with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to identify households facing homelessness or extreme financial hardship, with assistance from LAUSD’s Homeless Education Program. Meals were also distributed to the Los Angeles Dream Center and Homeboy Industries. The remaining Thanksgiving kits were made available to families on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring all attendees left with a full holiday dinner complete with a turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and pumpkin pie.
“At Jacoby & Meyers, we believe in being there for our community not just when it’s convenient, but when it’s needed most. This Thanksgiving, we are honored to partner with the Los Angeles Dodgers to provide meals to families in need,” said Michael Akiva, Managing Partner of Jacoby & Meyers. “It’s a small gesture that reflects our commitment to supporting the people who make this city great. Together, we can ensure that no one has to go without, especially during the holidays.”
“Community is at the heart of everything we do,” added Jubin Niamehr, Managing Partner of Jacoby & Meyers. “Working alongside the Dodgers and dedicated volunteers at this annual tradition is a privilege. It reflects our shared values of helping the people of Los Angeles during a critical time.”
