Those of you looking to make a difference in the world may not be aware of an organization that has been helping inner city children from low-income families since 1877 – The Fresh Air Fund. There is an opportunity to outright give a donation, become a host to an inner city child or perhaps even enroll your own child and change their life forever.
This summer thousands of New York city kids will visit families willing to give of themselves their time and money to give these kids a new experience and fresh outlook on life. Take a look at the video below which explains it all and consider if this is something you and your family could be a part of today if you are located on the East Coast or Northeastern Canada:
About Fresh Air Fund
THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2010, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
