A few big name fast food restaurants are celebrating a "day of giving" with a free meal until 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Apex Foods, which owns a few restaurants across the country, will be celebrating the day by giving away free meals at one Oklahoma City location.

The Long John Silvers, located at S.W. 29th St. and May Ave., will be giving away 10,000 free meals until 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Guests can enjoy free fish, chicken and hush puppies at that location.

Organizers say the offer is open to everyone who stops by until 8 p.m.
