Fresh Air Fund Opportunities

The New Year gives families a wonderful opportunity to make resolutions about activities they can do together in the coming year. In 2006, Newtown residents can help the children of New York City by volunteering to be a host family for The Fresh Air Fund.

Since 1877, New York City children growing up in low-income 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, contact Angel Fredricks at 790-7103 or The Fresh Air Fund at 800-367-0003 or visit the  website at www.FreshAir.org.
