SEATTLE — In a continued holiday tradition, a Seattle Thai restaurant is opening its doors to the hungry on Christmas.
"If you know someone who would not be able to have a festive dinner of Christmas Day, Thai Siam Restaurant would like to extend our invitation to a free turkey dinner," says a flier that is circulating on social media.
Thai Siam, in north Seattle, is preparing to feed hundreds. Last year it gave out 800 meals on Christmas: around 400 in the restaurant and the rest out on the street.
Friends and family help deliver the meals on Christmas.
"[It's] been our family tradition since 1988. This is our 29th year of doing this," said Thai Siam manager Ott Pinbang.
“Every year when we do them, it’s a good feeling that we can give back, because everyone here is supporting [the cause].”
