Despite the endless challenges that human beings face, it is critical to celebrate with great joy whenever happy moments come. Three Kings Day is one of the special days many Latin American Families celebrate. It remains a significant cultural identity of Latin Americans' heritage and traditions. At Centro, we are excited to celebrate with you this beautiful tradition on January 21st, 2023 from 10am to 12pm at Centro, located at 810 West Badger Road, Madison WI 53713. At Centro, we acknowledge our organizational role of enhancing cohesion, joy, and love among families. It remains our goal to make families happy by distributing gifts.This celebration unifies generations, fosters bonds within families, and brings back memories of children and parents. The number of kids we serve increases yearly, becoming an authentic tradition in Dane County. We are grateful that Tres Reyes has become an inclusive cultural celebration for Latinos and non-Latinos. This year we are expecting to receive 1300 children. We invite volunteers, agency partners, and staff to participate by helping with setup or managing the logistics before, during, and after the celebrations. Other community activities of the Tres Reyes include preparing hot chocolate, cleaning, labeling the gifts, delivering the toys, and organizing kids' activities. We warmly invite everyone who would like to actively participate in making this year's Tres Reyes celebration a success. Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltasar, the three Reyes, will visit Centro with toys on January 21, 2023 from 10am to 12pm. There will also be hot chocolate, rosca de reyes, activities, and toys available for children between the ages of 0 and 12. We look forward to receiving and rejoicing with a great multitude at Centro. It will be our incredible joy to witness your contributions, presence, and participation on this important day. |

2021 Tres Reyes Celebration: A great day for our community! Thanks to the support of our sponsors, agency partners, volunteers, supporters, and staff, the massive task of home delivery to 808 children (compared to approximately 400 children served in 2020) was accomplished. This event showed that when heart and commitment are aligned great things can be accomplished. Community means unity and solidarity even in a time full of uncertainty. |
