The countdown to Summer 2010 has officially begun, and The Fresh Air Fund is again in need of host families.
The Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit agency that has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City (NYC) children from low-income communities since 1877. In 2009, the Fresh Air Fund’s volunteer Host Family program (called Friendly Town) gave close to 5,000 NYC boys and girls (ages 6 to 18) free summer experiences in the country and the suburbs.
Fresh Air children get to experience the following:
- playing in the backyard
- laughing in the sunshine
- catching fireflies
- riding bicycles
- learning to swim
- running barefoot through the grass
- gazing at the stars on moonlit nights
- building sandcastles
- making new friends
- simple pleasures of life away from the inner city
You can open up your hearts and homes for a few weeks to give NYC children a memorable summer experience. Click here to learn more about becoming a host family. You can also donate online to give NYC children the experience of a lifetime.
