Trick or Treating for Unicef:

Items purchased from donations

This year in school, we’ve been learning about UNICEF, a group that works in more than 190

countries and territories around the world to help kids! Some of the kids UNICEF helps don’t have enough food, clean water or medicine. Some of them don’t get to go to school. Some have lost their homes in natural disasters. UNICEF believes that ZERO children should be in these kinds of situations.

On Halloween,  instead of just trick-or-treating for candy, we can ask for donations, too! UNICEF uses the money we collect to help children live healthy lives and have bright futures.
