Make a Commitment to Fresh Air Fund in 2006
The New Year gives families a wonderful opportunity to make resolutions about activities they can do together in the coming year. In 2006, help the children of New York City by volunteering to be a host family for The Fresh Air Fund. Volunteering as a family is a chance to spend time together and to introduce children to volunteerism and community service.
Since 1877, New York City children growing up in lowincome neighborhoods have experienced the joys of summer in suburban and small-town communities through The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Town program. By welcoming visitors into their homes during the summer, host families give Fresh Air children a break from the sometimes dangerous, hot and crowded city streets.
For more information on hosting a Fresh Air child, please contact Josie Schlem at 845621-3760 or The Fresh Air Fund at 800-367-0003, or visit The Fund’s Web site at www. freshair.org.
