UNICEF Collection

Sunday school students from the Port Allegany United Methodist Church collected for UNICEF Sunday afternoon.  They raised over $125 for children in need.  Children helping children through UNICEF collections has taken place since 1950.  UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) works in more than 190 countries and territories to save and improve children's lives, providing health care and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more.  The U. S. Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's work through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States.  The goal is to see the day when zero children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood.  Pictured are (front row, left to right) Lillianne Reed, Jackson Young, Makayla Alcorn, Nick Wilfong, Levi Wilfong; (back row) Jena Young, Julia Young and Kierra Keck.  Not pictured is Maddie Mahon.
