After 71 years of membership in National Assistance League, the local Flintridge chapter has chosen to disaffiliate and to continue its mission of “Charity, Compassion, Community” under a new name.  

ALF’s new title, Action League of the Foothills, embraces the group’s expanded territory as volunteer members continue to provide a wide range of programs including ALF Summer School, ALF Music Instrument Rentals, ALF Books & Beyond (school supplies and clothing to over 1,000 students in local areas), ALF Drama and ALF in Action (supplies for organizations with specific short-term needs).  ALF Teens (formerly Assisteens) for grades 7-12 and CAP (Cañada Auxiliary of Professionals) support additional outreach projects.

“Being our own organization allows us to better meet the changing needs of the community and focus our efforts and funds on improving lives in the local area,” said President Donna Shepherd. “It’s still the same great organization.” 

Online registration begins Aug. 1 for this fall’s ALF Drama program for children entering grades 3-6. The musical play will be Disney’s “The Jungle Book KIDS.” For more information, contact Programs@ALFoothills.org or call (818) 790-2211.

Watch for the new logo and signage at ALF’s Bargain Box Thrift Shop on Oakwood Avenue in La Cañada Flintridge. The group’s web address has been changed to ALFoothills.org. The office phone number is the same: (818) 790-1328. New members are always welcome.
