Make a difference, one child at a time: The Fresh Air Fund is looking for local families to host visiting children for one week this summer.  Income-qualified children from New York City are provided a chance to visit beautiful, safe, and quiet areas such as the Berkshires for a break from the city.  With your help a child can experience the freedom of playing outdoors, swimming in clean water, and breathing fresh air.

For more information on becoming a Fresh Air Fund host family please visit https://freshair.org/ or contact Rachel, Rachel.Louis.241@gmail.com or 413-458-1678.
