There are Thanksgiving Heroes in every American fire house, police station and hospital–public servants who don't get to stay home enjoying the annual holiday feast with their families because they are protecting our homes and property and taking care of the sick.

La Brea Bakery in Los Angeles wanted to recognize these heroes with a surprise gift– a Thanksgiving meal brought directly to their place of work.

Nurse Alfonso Cisneros who works at Martin Luther King Jr. Outpatient Center was nominated by his wife and on Thursday got to sit down to a feast with his second family–the urgent care nurses and clerks who sacrifice their own holidays to serve others.

"I'm sure there's a lot of people in the same situation that I am in, there's firefighters and police officers," Cisneros told KCBS. "We're all heroes, in some way, some form."

La Brea Bakery also surprised emergency responders and nurses in several other cities around the country, paying for a catered meal prepared by Whole Foods–whose employees also worked during the holiday to serve others.
