"(its) actually just to give back man" De La Paz said. "Six years that we've been here, I can't really explain how much we appreciate the support. Just the people over the years, even like maybe 6, 7 years clients over the years. The support here has been crazy."

On Saturday, over 100 backpacks stuffed with school supplies will be handed out to customers and families in need. Any extra backpacks will be donated to schools in the neighborhood.
