The Fresh Air Fund’s Stamford and Greenwich area committee is currently preparing for summer 2009 and the arrival of their New York City visitors.

To ensure that this summer is special for Fresh Air children, The Fund is seeking volunteer members and host families to sign up now! Each summer, close to 5,000 New York City children, six to 18 years old, enjoy two week vacations with volunteer host families in suburban and rural communities across 13 Northeastern states and Canada. Local Fresh Air Fund volunteers recruit and interview host families, arrange travel and coordinate fun activities in their communities.

In 2009, The Fresh Air Fund celebrates its 133rd summer of bare feet, sandcastles and starry nights for children from some of New York City’s low-income communities.

“We were on a walk, and I saw a wild snapping turtle!" said eight-year-old Brittney of Queens. It was so cool because I don’t get to see many animals in the wild.”

For more information on how to join the Fresh Air volunteer team, call Nicole Heath at 329-8629, or The Fresh Air Fund at 800-367-0003. You can also learn more about the Friendly Town program by visiting The Fund’s Web site at Freshair.org.
