The owner of the restaurant, Igor Paez, said he wanted to do as much as he could to give back to others this holiday season.

“I just want to do something special for these guys in the street,” he said. “They don’t have no family, so I want them to make them feel comfortable one day of the year.”

This is the first time that Pa’l Callejon has ever held this event.
