Three Kings Day Giving in Loíza, Puerto Rico: Shoes & Toys for 200 Children

Celebrate Puerto Rico’s Día de Reyes

In Puerto Rico, Three Kings Day (Día de Reyes) on January 6th is one of the island’s most treasured traditions. Families celebrate with food, music, and faith. On the evening of January 5th, children prepare shoeboxes filled with grass for the Kings’ camels, placing them under their beds. By morning, they awake to gifts — a moment of magic that marks the season.

This year, Amour Getaways, the Newport News/Hampton Area Missionary Council, and local faith-based and community leaders are joining together to make sure that 200 children in Loíza experience that joy.

Why Loíza?

Known as Puerto Rico’s cultural heart, Loíza is rich with bomba rhythms, artistry, and spiritual heritage. Yet many families face economic challenges, and gifts are not always possible during the holidays.

By donating, you honor both the tradition of Día de Reyes and the children of Loíza, ensuring they feel celebrated and cared for.

How Your Donation Helps

💝 100% of funds will be used to purchase toys and shoes locally in Puerto Rico, supporting both children and the local economy.

🎁 Local volunteers will gather for a Gift Wrapping & Labeling Day, preparing every gift with love before distribution.

🎉 Gifts will be distributed just in time for Three Kings Day celebrations.
