Community Painting Days

Handy with a paintbrush?  Come be a part of the Albertson Halloween House Community Painting Days!  We take all ages (young kids need to bring a parent along) and skill levels (if you can hold a brush, we want you!).  Come on by!  

The address is 497 North 16th Street in San Jose, CA (95112). Wear some clothes you wouldn’t mind getting dirty.  If you plan to come, let us know so that we can make sure there are enough snacks!

Upcoming Community Painting Days—

• We have completed all of the Community Painting Days for this year. Thanks to everyone who came out to help us bring the house to life!

Items We Are Looking For

We are always keeping an eye out for items for the house.  If you happen to have any of the items below and are willing to donate to the cause, let us know!  Your name will be added to the Super Awesome Donor list below and kids in San Jose will have an even funner(!) Halloween thanks to you.

• We are determining items we might need help sourcing. Check back here as we head toward Halloween!
