These Kids Need Some Fresh Air!

It’s that time of year again! Time to start thinking about helping these great kids. Sara from Fresh Air would like me to share this with you, and I’m thrilled to help spread the word!

Fresh Air children are boys and girls, six to 12 years old, who reside in low-income communities in New York City and are eager to experience the simple pleasures of life outside the city.

Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a few weeks each summer, children growing up in New York City’s toughest neighborhoods have experienced the joys of Fresh Air vacations. More than 65% of all children are reinvited to stay with their host family, year after year. Fresh Air Fund Host FamiliesThere is no such thing as a “typical” host family. If you have room in your home – and your heart – to host a child, you could be one too.

• The Fresh Air Fund needs hosts for the Summer of 2009 • The Fresh Air Fund relies on donations and partnerships to raise the funds needed to give these children the vacation they deserve.

You can give a child the experience of a lifetime with your gift to The Fresh Air Fund! Every year, The Fresh Air Fund gives thousands of inner-city children the priceless gift of fun – and opens the door to a lifetime of opportunities. Whether it’s a two-week trip to the country to visit a volunteer host family, or a fun-filled and educational stay at one of our camps, our programs make for unforgettable memories – and open a world of new friendships and fresh possibilities. We are a not-for-profit agency and depend on tax-deductible donations from people like you to keep our vital programs flourishing. Donate online now
