Share the Beauty of Your Community with Someone Less Fortunate Through The Fresh Air Fund
This summer, share the beauty of your community with someone less fortunate: Volunteer for The Fresh Air Fund and host an inner-city child. You will join thousands of volunteer host families throughout 13 northeastern states and Canada as they open their hearts and homes to New York City children from underprivileged communities through The Fund's Friendly Town program. The Friendly Town program allows youngsters from New York City to enjoy new experiences like skipping rocks across a lake, smelling newly cut grass and making new friends.
"It gives you a good feeling," a Fresh Air host parent explains. "You're helping a child who might not have the opportunity to do the things they are experiencing with your family." Imagine summertime without swimming in a pool, playing in the backyard or gazing at the stars. Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has provided more than 1.7 million inner-city children with the opportunity to enjoy these simple pleasures.
For more information on how you can make summer special for a Fresh Air child, contact Josie Schlem at 845-621-3760 or The Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003. You can also learn more about the Friendly Town program by visiting The Fund's Web site at www.freshair.org.
