Lakers host community mentors, kids and first responders for Thanksgiving dinner

Los Angeles — Before the Los Angeles Lakers hopped on a plane to Orlando on Friday, Kyle Kuzma, Moe Wagner and Josh Hart — in partnership with East West Bank — served Thanksgiving dinner for nearly 250 guest from L.A. community organizations at the Frank Hotchkin’s Memorial Training Center in downtown Los Angeles.

The carnival-themed event was filled with kids stuffing their faces with Thanksgiving food courtesy of Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que and shouting “Where’s LeBron?” to the Lakers that were there.

“At his house, I think,” Hart said to one kid.

But while James may not have been in attendance, the event was still packed with mentors, mentees and kids from the community, as well as members of the Los Angeles Fire Department, who have been tirelessly working to contain the catastrophic California Camp Fire over the past week.
