Oklahoma’s Annual Day of Kindness
At McIntyre Law, we do more than just advocate for your legal needs. We are also dedicated to the Oklahoma community and its success. For the last 16 years, in partnership with other organizations and law firms, we’ve given away thousands of free Thanksgiving turkeys to Oklahoma families along with a day of fun activities and delicious food.
McIntyre Law’s 16th Annual Day of Kindness
Along with the Oklahoma Association for Justice, Lawyers Fighting Hunger, the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, and more than 100 Oklahoma trial lawyers and law firms, McIntyre Law distributed free Thanksgiving turkeys for food-insecure families at the Annual Day of Kindness. The team at McIntyre Law loves giving back to our community. When times are difficult, we’re here to help.
The 16th Annual Day of Kindness was held on Friday, November 21, 2025, at Southern Hills Baptist Church. Thank you to our donors for making this year’s event the biggest ever.
What is World Kindness Day?
World Kindness Day is a celebration and highlight of good deeds toward others, embracing positivity and the power of a united community. The World Kindness Movement introduced this back in 1998, and it’s usually observed around the world on November 13. Over time, this movement has evolved into a World Kindness Week celebration across the United States and other countries.
What World Kindness Week Means to the Oklahoma Community
Oklahoma is among the states with the highest food insecurity in the nation, with 1 in 6 people suffering from hunger. Wintertime is especially troublesome for many families because they have to choose between paying for food or utilities to stay warm. That’s why McIntyre Law is committed to providing a hot, satisfying, nutritious holiday meal to these families every year.

How It All Started
About 17% of Oklahomans live in poverty, which leaves 1 in 4 children at risk of going to bed hungry. Personal injury law firm McIntyre Law is on a mission to not let that happen, especially around the holidays. Each year, hundreds of Oklahoma trial lawyers band together to raise money to help give families a Thanksgiving dinner.
Eleven years ago, the idea for the Annual Day of Kindness started when Noble McIntyre was walking through his church’s foyer and saw a pamphlet outlining the exact cost of a Thanksgiving dinner. For an average family of four, it averaged about $40-50, and with many Oklahomans being considered food-insecure, this holiday may turn into a season of hunger instead of celebration.
After the first Thanksgiving turkey giveaway, Noble realized that families arriving at their event may even be hungry that day. Some had gone several days without food. It was then that Noble McIntyre decided that it wasn’t going to be just turkeys being given away. Each year following, multiple different local businesses and organizations got together to provide many other activities and giveaways.
