Hundreds of formerly homeless men and women who now have permanent housing at Pathlight Homes in Orlando had an early holiday celebration on Friday.
The event took place at Maxwell Terrace Apartments on West Colonial Drive.
"When you have come from some places where you don't have a chance to eat, or in some countries where they aren't able to eat, it's made me thankful that they give their heart out and their time for us to give us a meal," one attendee said.
This is the 11th annual holiday tradition put together by the Orlando business Insperity.
