For more than 40 years, on Halloween night Davis children have gone door-to-door Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF with classic orange collection boxes. The money they collect goes toward providing children around the world with clean water, nutrition, medicine, and educational resources.  The campaign empowers kids to help kids in dire need due to famine, war, or natural disaster.

This year will remain different due to the pandemic. This October everyone can still “add meaning to their Halloween-ing.”  The campaign will be virtual and in person this year.  Donations from this hybrid program will go to help UNICEF’s programs  for kids worldwide, including fighting malnutrition in eastern Africa, providing warm clothing in Afghanistan, and rushing aid to the families of Ukraine.

Option 1: Get your own Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF box.  Limited supplies available so get them soon.  Email jennifersueholman@gmail.com.

Option 2: Make your own container to Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF using a Printable Canister Wrapper instead of the traditional box and collect money as you go door-to-door on Halloween night. Teachers, parents, and kids can print these out, and wrap them around any empty jar or can. Then, to arrange for pickup of your collection container or other donation, email jennifersueholman@gmail.com.

Option 3: Start an Online Fundraiser (step-by-step guide on how to do so here). 

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is the longest running youth engagement campaign in America and has raised over $180 million to help UNICEF support children with health care, nutrition, safe water, education, emergency relief and more. Davis has raised a total of $679,660 over the past 23 years! Let’s keep this tradition going!

Remember even small donations make a big impact:

$6 buys a thermal fleece blanket.

$19 buys a tarp for protection from the cold winter.

$55 buys a family in Ukraine an emergency hygiene kit. 

$60 will feed one desperately hungry child for two months with therapeutic food.
