Host a city kid this summer!
The Fresh Air Fund needs hosts for the Summer of 2009
Host a Child
Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a few 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. Fresh Air children are boys and girls, six to 12 years old, who reside in low-income communities in New York City and are eager to experience the simple pleasures of life outside the city.
As one child says, "I can't wait to get on the bus every summer so I can see my family and go swimming and hiking!."

Doesn't this sound like a great idea?
Luke 12:48 Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.
Love,
