12 Days of UNICEF: Day 11, Alvin and the Chipmunks

The holiday season is finally here, and with it the memory of all the happy times we’ve shared over the years. Well, happy for some of us. Alvin likes to sneak downstairs and open all the presents before anyone is awake, just so he can put the best ones into his stocking. He thinks we don’t know, but his paw prints give it away. Simon finds it difficult to concentrate on holiday memories with Dave yelling “Alvinnn!!!” all the time. And then there’s Theodore. His favorite holiday memory is when we moved in with Dave for the first time and became a family. Awww… Speaking of family, as your own family comes together this season, we’ve got a great idea how you can make it even more special. UNICEF has a wonderful program called Inspired Gifts where you can buy actual lifesaving items in honor of a loved one that are then sent to children in need in any of the 150 countries that UINICEF works. So why not buy a UNICEF Inspired Gift for your loved ones and help save kids’ lives this holiday.

Therapeutic Food

There are many Inspired Gifts you can choose from - story books, soccer balls, even vaccines but The Chipmunks favorite is the Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food. This peanut-based paste is specially formulated to provide key micronutrients, vitamins and minerals to severely malnourished children. Your gift can provide lifesaving nutrition for 50 children a day who desperately need it. You can learn more about The Chipmunks favorite Inspired Gift, Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food, and get your own at inspiredgifts.org.
