Flores Mendez Law and Sarah Fresh A2A2 Milk donate 250 turkeys to families in need

EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — Ahead of Thanksgiving, Flores Mendez Law and Sarah Fresh A2A2 Milk distributed 250 turkeys to families in need at Centro San Vicente on Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning, the female Hispanic-owned personal injury law firm and the dairy plant farm handed out turkeys at Centro San Vicente, located at 8061 Alameda.

This marks the fourth year of their turkey giveaway initiative.

Connie Flores, an attorney at Flores Mendez Law, emphasized the importance of giving back during the holidays, saying, “So during the holidays it’s time to be with your family and to enjoy the holidays, and a lot of people unfortunately don’t have those means. So we are very fortunate and blessed to be able to give back to those people who need some assistance, and if that’s just in the form of a turkey, that’s the way we can get back to our own community.”

Jessica Mendez, also an attorney at the law firm, said she understands that clients are facing hardships, stating, “We represent clients who have been impacted tremendously, are victims, and have severe injuries. So we understand when they are at their lowest point, and that not only when they’re injured, but when you sometimes just don’t have the means to get food on the table. So that’s why it’s very important for us to give back.”

Flores expressed her personal connection to the event, saying, “So at Flores Mendez Law, we realized we could do a little bit to go a long way to give to the family. To me, that’s a very special feeling that I get. So they’re very happy that we’re able to help them. But for me personally it was very, it was a very thoughtful message that I will take back with me, and as we continue to do this every year, we hope that God blesses us to be able to help more and more people.”

She added, “So it was very rewarding today to be able to talk to all these individuals in our community.”
