Make this Valentine’s Day extra special for your family and give them the gift of friendship with a Fresh Air child. Each summer, over 4,000 inner-city children visit suburban, rural and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada through The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program.  “We love sharing the wonders of lightening bugs, playing in the backyard and swimming in lakes with our Fresh Air friend!” says Liz, a Fresh Air host. The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. For more information on hosting a Fresh Air child this summer, please contact Karen Moore at 860-653-2272 or The Fresh Air Fund at 800-367-0003. You can also visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.
