Del Cielo a La Tierra church on the South Side made a big splash with its first “Backpacks and Blessings” event, handing out 500 backpacks to kids heading back to school—and then kept the fun going with free haircuts, a bounce house, and first responders mingling with kids to build trust and community. Since relocating to the neighborhood in October 2025, the church has felt a deep connection to the area and used this event to show up for families with practical help: blood drives, food bank info, and a heartfelt message that no one’s forgotten. The event ran from 9 AM to 2 PM, with backpacks given at noon—and Pastor Robert Gonzalez made it clear: this was for everyone, not just neighbors.
