TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Having a few people over for Thanksgiving dinner is a wonderful way to share the spirit of the holidays.

But what about more than 1,000 people?

That's what the Ghazvini family does every year.

The family coordinates a free Thanksgiving meal at Lake Ella, where everyone is welcome.

The community has come together for 33 years, donating food to offer a Thanksgiving meal to celebrate the holiday.

Outside the American Legion Hall, locals and visitors gathered for the annual meal.

The Ghazvini family couldn't do it without the help of many volunteers.

Students from Keiser University's culinary arts program lent a helping hand in the kitchen.
