MIAMI (WSVN) -- The season of giving continues in South Florida.

The Kiwanis of Little Havana teamed up with the Miami Marlins to bring gifts to children in need.

Dressing up for Three Kings Day, the groups brought toys to Sagrada Familia, the Little Havana activity center and a child care center in Miami. "This is our best project," said President of Kiwanis of Little Havana, Henry Jimenez. "Kiwanis has been around for 37 years, and we've been doing this for 37 years, and to be able to instill these traditions of the Three Kings with these kids and for us is the most joyous time of the season."

The gift-giving is all part of the Kiwanis' holiday toy drive, bringing joy to Miami's youth.

Nearly 6,000 kids are reached by the group every year.
