Change for Children
Please read and consider the message below on from the Belmont High School UNICEF club...
Did you know that the average American has $113 worth of coins lying around their house? Well, that’s why the UNICEF club at Belmont High School is bringing back its Change for Children fundraiser between October 25th to November 15th. All money collected goes to the United Nations Children’s Fund, a worldwide organization that works in more than 190 countries to help children by providing basic services like health care, education, food, water, protection, and more. We hope you encourage your kids to search around your house for loose change to donate to this meaningful cause! Of course, we will also be accepting donations online through this link, UNICEF fundraiser link 2023-2024! Your kids will also receive posters with information to bring home! With the new year, we hope to build a better future for children, one coin at a time.
