Trick or Treat for UNICEF
Kids from the Benjamin G. Brown School "Roots & Shoots" club will be in Davis Square on Monday, October 26th from approx 3:15-4:15 Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF. Find a kid with an orange UNICEF box and give them some change if you have any to spare. Kids from the school may also bring UNICEF boxes while trick-or-treating on Halloween night, so have some change waiting by your candy bowl if you want to donate.
Since it's almost Halloween, please allow me to re-post last year's PSA on behalf of the estimated 7-12% of American children with food allergies who will be trick or treating on Saturday. The choice between a snickers bar and a peanut butter cup seems awesome to someone without allergies. Not such a great choice for kids allergic to nuts, dairy or eggs. Buy whatever candy you want as leftovers, but please consider also buying a bag of something allergy friendly. Fruit flavored things are more likely to be safe (skittles, starburst, lollipops, mike & ikes, dots, twizzlers, swedish fish, fruit snacks, laffy taffy, nerds, smarties, jolly ranchers) Little toys and other junk are great too. If you really want to be allergy-friendly, check out the Teal Pumpkin Project http://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project. Thanks!
