Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF and Beyond: Philanthropy By and For Children

The Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF tradition began in Philadelphia in 1950 when a youth group collected $17 in decorated milk cartons on Halloween to help children overseas. Since then, U.S. children have collected more than $110 million by going door-to-door with the trademark orange collection boxes on Halloween. Last year alone, almost 6.25 million boxes were distributed across the country. For more information about the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF.
