(KUTV) SALT LAKE CITY – Their season remains in
jeopardy, but that isn’t stopping the Utah Jazz from helping those in need.

The day before Thanksgiving, Jazz players and owners
hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless.

The turkey, stuffing and pie were served earlier today
at Energy Solutions Arena.

The Jazz teamed up with the Salt Lake City Mission to
serve about 3,500 meals today.

 ”They’re
grateful for the opportunity to have a nice hot meal at Thanksgiving,” said
Jazz owner Gail Miller. “They like the food – I think this is their family.”

Volunteers also handed
out clothing to those who stopped by for a bite to eat.
