Halloween is approaching, and that means Iowa UNA is bracing for the annual Trick-or-Treat for UNICEf campaign! Since 1950, UNICEF has provided humanitarian aid to children across the globe. All funds from this year’s drive will go to the UNICEF mission in Somalia to help provide relief from the devastating famine. Iowa UNA strongly encourages UNICEF’s motto of “children helping children”, and we hope your family can join us in this vision.

Signing up is as easy as three steps:
1) Contact the Iowa UNA (unaiowa@unaiowa.org or 319-337-7290) and tell us how many UNICEF boxes will need to be mailed to your household.
.
2) When Halloween rolls around, take to the streets and ask your neighbors and friends if they are willing to donate their loose change to help provide critical aid for children in Somalia. Remember, your children can still ask for candy!
.
3) When you have collected your funds, count the change and send a check for that amount to the Iowa UNA office:
.
20 E. Market Street, Iowa City, IA 52245
.
Write ‘UNICEF’ in the memo line. Iowa UNA will consolidate all funds raised across the state to send one grand check to UNICEF on behalf of all Iowans.
This year, Iowa UNA and friends hope to raise $5,000 in loose change for UNICEF’s mission in Somalia. Your collective effort can help make a huge difference for the Horn of Africa!
If your non-profit, place of worship, or school is involved with this campaign we would love to hear from you! Please send all notices and inquiries to yashar@unaiowa.org.
