Parading and caroling, the Three Kings, played by Hyde Square Task Force (HSTF) youth, gave books and presents to children at both Headstart, pictured, and JFK Elementary School. Afterwards community members joined HSTF staff and youth caroling along Centre Street in JP, stopping at Blessed Sacrament Church, Aurum, and Whole Foods.

Thanks to our generous donors, Whole Foods, Aurum, and Telemundo Boston, children received gifts and the community enjoyed complimentary cookies and hot cocoa.
