The Assistance League of Flintridge, known as ALF, recently announced a newly created “Community Volunteer” category designed for those who want to volunteer with ALF, but without the responsibilities of membership.
Applications are actively being taken.
ALF has been a part of the La Cañada Flintridge community since 1954 and currently has more than 200 members in all membership categories. However, ALF realizes there are many people in the community who would like to volunteer time with ALF but have family or work obligations that prevent joining ALF. ALF wants to offer an opportunity to such individuals to volunteer and still have time for family and work obligations.
The new category is designed to include adults over 19 years old who would like to staff the Bargain Box for a limited number of hours each year. This new membership category is known as “ALFie Lites.”
ALFie Lite members would commit to a minimum of five Bargain Box staffings a year (each staffing is 3 ½ hours), would need to be fingerprinted, receive a brief orientation and Bargain Box training. There is no requirement to attend meetings, be on a committee or pay dues.
Anyone interested in joining “ALFie Lites” should call the Chapter House at (818) 790-1328, or email info@alflintridge.org.
