Open Your Heart On Your Mom Time

By Cherrie on April 14, 2009

One of the most fulfilling ways you can spend your mom time is to give back to your community.  That’s why I’m A Hot Mom is helping to get the word out about The Fresh Air Fund.

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. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2008, 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.

How can you help or participate?

  1. Host A Child

    Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a two 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.

    There 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.  Click here to learn more about hosting a child.

  2. Donate

    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 visit a volunteer host family, or a fun-filled and educational stay at one of their camps, their programs make for unforgettable memories – and open a world of new friendships and fresh possibilities.

      I don’t have a followers widget… I only have the email and RSS subscription option. You can subscribe by RSS reader and achieve the same result as the follow widget. I might add that in the future, I’m still thinking about it. Thanks for stopping by :-)
