Many Christian families do not like their children participating in the annual Halloween "trick-or-treat" night. Therefore, several local churches are offering alternatives to neighborhood "trick-or-treating". Here is a list for you to consider for your children:
1. Willow Glen's Trunk or Treat at Church of God of San Jose
937 Minnesota Ave, San Jose 95125
Join us for safe and fun way to trick-or-treat in Willow Glen. Children and families trick-or-treat from car to car in the safety of the church parking lot. Trunks are opened, decorated, and filled with treats! 4 – 8:00 PM. This year's Trunk or Treat will also feature a Carved Pumpkin Contest. Go to www.sjcog.com for contest rules and regulations. While this event is free, we ask that you bring a canned or boxed food item to be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.
