Hallmark has partnered with UNICEF USA since 2006, and together we’re spreading the news that Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF is a great way for UNICEF friends of all ages to connect with the global community all October long. We have everyday and holiday cards to support UNICEF beyond Halloween, too!
Making an impact for generations
The iconic Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF program started in 1950 when one family in Pennsylvania, the Allisons, merged their efforts to do some good at Halloween with UNICEF’s work to help children and young people in post-World War II Europe. Since that powerful pairing, four generations of Americans have raised more than $195 million and counting for children, and developed into caring global citizens along the way.
UNICEF is now on the ground in 190 countries and territories. Funds raised through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF help deliver health care and immunizations, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education and emergency relief to children where and when they need it most.
Going virtual to go global
Starting in 2023, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF offers a new digital experience, so you don’t have to dress up and go door to door to participate—though we won’t stop you!
Simply scan the pumpkin QR code to go to the Trcik-or-Treat for UNICEF website (which goes live in October), where you’ll discover entertaining learning activities for all ages, meet amazing children from around the world, see how UNICEF’s work is helping them thrive, and find ways that you can help.
Monster feet on the street
Kids can also go door-to-door and collect from neighbors with parental consent or supervision. The website will provide printable, do-it-yourself canister wrappers that your child can use when trick-or-treating, as well as flyers, social media kits and other ways to promote Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF in your community.
And if you like the good feeling that comes from a meaningful Halloween, be sure to share your experience on social (#ToT4UNICEF) and inspire other families to get involved and join the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF tradition!
No matter what you or your children dress up as this year, when you Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF you’ll be a hero to millions of kids around the globe. The Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF website goes live on October 1 and will extend the thrills of Halloween and the joy of helping others throughout the month.
