BERKELEY (KPIX) -- Some Oakland teens banded together on Thursday to provide a unique Thanksgiving meal for the homeless.
Students from the Oakland School for the Arts assembled a formal dining area next to a local homeless encampment.
The organizers went all out and brought in fresh linen, china, glassware and -- of course -- a delicious meal.
The guests took some time to trust the organizers enough to come out but, soon enough, the tables filled up.

The performing arts students also sang for the guests as they ate their meal.
