Whatever happened to kids collecting coins for Unicef on Halloween? It's a 54 year old tradition that we don't recall seeing much of in recent years but it still exists. For parents tired of those huge bags of candy, for kids developing a sense of their potential power to global citizens, collecting coins this Halloween just might be a winner. $10 buys high protein biscuits to feed three hungry children for a month.
You can download a special Unicef carton cover on line, or pick up the orange boxes at any Pier 1 Imports store, as well as at participating supermarkets.
Turning the coins into Unicef is easy, too--take them to any Coinstar machine and enter the code found in the Unicef link.
