<div>On January 7 Rosemary Dexter is celebrating her 100th birthday!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In thanksgiving for all that has blessed her life, she asks you to join in her celebration by supporting <strong>ALF Food Pantry</strong>, previously known as Atascadero Loaves and Fishes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rosemary's late husband, Rollin Dexter, was one of the founders of ALF in 1984, and Rosemary has been an active volunteer and supporter for many years. There is a critical need for a larger facility to safely handle, store, and distribute food to a client base that has grown substantially. An increase in square footage will allow for a larger inventory of shelf-stable and perishable food. <strong>Rosemary has come up with the heartfelt idea of using her centennial milestone to launch a fundraising drive aimed at ALF Food Pantry’s facilities.</strong> This will ensure that the growing needs of our community can be met with dignity and care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With a goal of $100,000, Rosemary is committed to providing a larger, more efficient space for serving our neighbors. To kickstart this initiative, she will generously match the first $30,000 raised, doubling the impact of your contributions. <strong>Join us in honoring her legacy of compassion and community service and in celebrating her 100th birthday by helping us reach our goal.</strong> Together, we can build a brighter tomorrow for all.
</div>
<div>If you would be more comfortable sending funds directly ALF you can do so by mailing a check to ALF, 5411 El Camino Real, Atascadero, CA 93422. Please put<strong><em> Rosemary's 100</em></strong> in the memo line! In addition to the amount shown above there have been about $6000 sent directly. Thank you
