Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF helps provide kids in need with food, water, education and medicine.

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a great way to get both you and your kids involved in helping kids who are in need. UNICEF stands for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. The money raised by trick-or-treating with their little orange box will provide kids with:

• Food
• Clean water
• Education
• Measles and Malaria Protection

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF was something I'd never heard of until I read an old Phyllis Whitney novel The Highest Dream where I was introduced to it. When I've received our little orange boxes in the mail I've put a box on my desk at work and my daughter took it around trick-or-treating. I think people were a little taken back, but I think that's only because they hadn't heard about it. I think if they understood, they'd be on board.

The idea of raising money during Halloween for a cause seems to be a newer concept here in Utah where trick-or-treat is jack-o-lanterns, costumes, parties and all-candy-all-the-time. I hope you'll consider the good you can do if you include Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF. You don't have to do this through a school, individuals can get involved too.

We CAN make a difference! There's still plenty of time to get your trick-or-treat boxes that are provided by UNICEF, click the link below to order yours.
