I am a parent, how can my child participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF?
Since 1950, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has been creating caring kids. When kids learn about the needs of other children they instinctively want to help, and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF empowers them to make a difference. You can support your child/children's efforts and show them they can make a difference through the beloved Halloween campaign. Just follow these easy steps:
-
ORDER your child/children's free Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF by visiting www.unicefusa.org/trickortreat or calling 1.800.4UNICEF (please allow 5-10 business days for delivery). The kit includes orange collection boxes and fundraising resources—like a DVD that shows how UNICEF makes a difference for children around the world, reward stickers, posters, door hangers, and education materials (for Grades K-6)—everything you need to participate in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF this fall.
Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information. Boxes are also available at Hallmark Gold Crown® stores starting September 10th and any Pier 1 Imports® store starting September 24th. To find a store near you or your school/group, visit www.unicefusa.org/trickortreat.
We will be taking orders until October 30 at noon (EST) but can only guarantee delivery by Halloween if we received your order by October 25. However, for orders received after October 25, we will make every effort to try to get your materials to you by Halloween day.
