Paint the Town
NeighborWorks® Sacramento is gearing up for our 22nd annual Paint the Town event on Saturday, September 17, from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. Paint the Town is a fantastic opportunity for a high-impact, community-driven, team-building event, and we invite your organization to participate!
Paint the Town—New Model—Bigger and Better!
You may have heard of or participated in this event before. Last year, we restructured the event to include more than just a coat of exterior paint. Paint the Town now includes multiple small improvement projects tailored to each homeowner. We changed the model to coordinate with our community stabilization initiative; through this initiative NeighborWorks Sacramento renovates formerly vacant homes for resale to a new family. We will again focus our efforts on one block in Oak Park to maximize our impact. This year, we will be working on 40th Street between 8th Avenue and 11th Avenue. This location is near several of our renovated homes, including a new house that will soon be built at 43rd Street and 8th Avenue.
We are again focusing on resident participation by engaging neighbors to work alongside each other and our sponsors to help with the improvements, cheer on the volunteers, and most importantly, have fun!
This year, NeighborWorks Sacramento won $25,000 from the Home Depot "Aprons in Action" campaign. This funding will allow us to complete many more projects for this year's event! Other sponsors include Holt of California, U.S. Bank, and South Sacramento Rotary.

We need you! How you can help
We have flexible sponsorship opportunities to match your needs as a sponsor. Each resident will have one or several projects that can include exterior paint or touch-ups, landscaping projects such as planting trees, mowing, edging, pruning, or building planter boxes, minor repair of a fence or porch, or other projects that collectively make a significant, positive impact on the entire block. Participate by contributing a financial contribution, a volunteer team or both! Ideal sponsor teams will have 10 to 25 volunteers. Please refer to the application packet (PDF, 151 KB) to register for this event and to let us know how you can contribute.
