What will donations be used for?

This year – Halloween means more than ever. By participating in Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, you are helping to end the global COVID-19 pandemic. Funds raised will support ACT-A, the global Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator that provides a comprehensive approach to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, including diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines and community engagement. As part of this global plan, UNICEF has a role to play in each area, and is helping lead the procurement and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to communities around the world in the largest, fastest immunization effort of its kind. This work leverages UNICEF’s expertise, as the largest purchaser of vaccines each year. Learn more about our mission to End the Pandemic.

Why are there no collection boxes?

In 2020 we discontinued production of boxes in order to responsibly social distance. We will again not produce boxes as we evolve this beloved program into a fully digital experience.
