City Gates Ministries Backpack Giveaway
This past Thursday, City Gates Ministries once again showed what it means to serve with heart, compassion, and joy. Families gathered for the annual backpack giveaway, but what unfolded was much more than simply handing out supplies—it was a full celebration of community and hope.
The event was alive with energy. Food vendors generously served meals to everyone, creating a festival-like atmosphere. Children and parents alike enjoyed the music that played throughout the evening, setting the tone of warmth and unity. Volunteer barbers and stylists offered free haircuts, ensuring kids would step into the school year with confidence. All around, smiles and laughter filled the air as people connected and encouraged one another.
Perhaps the most moving moments came when prayers were lifted over parents and children. Hands were held, blessings were spoken, and a spirit of encouragement spread through the crowd. It was more than just a backpack giveaway—it was a reminder that this community rallies together, not only to meet physical needs but also to nurture hearts and souls.
City Gates Ministries, through the dedication of countless volunteers and supporters, has created an event that is inspirational, fun, and deeply heartwarming. Families left not only with supplies for the school year but also with the reassurance that they are seen, cared for, and supported by their community.
