Clad in white Magic Volunteer Program T-shirts, employees of the Orlando Magic assembled outside the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida around 7:30 on Thanksgiving morning.
Over the next few hours, they helped serve a holiday meal to about 700 people.
"Although we would much rather not have to be here because we've abolished homelessness, we need to take care of those that hopefully are temporarily homeless," Magic CEO Alex Martins said. "This is one of the small ways that we contribute to those who are dealing with homelessness."
Martins received some help serving meals Thursday morning from his two daughters, 12-year-old Sophia and 10-year-old Gabrielle.
