The Bucks County, PA Committee
will be welcoming 14 New York City

children as they arrive in Doylestownon July 5, 2013. Volunteer host families

share their summers for up to two weeks with Fresh Air children, ages six to

18, who leave behind the city streets to run barefoot in the grass or see the

stars at night. Some children are leaving home for the first time, while others

are returning to visit the same host families for consecutive summers.



The Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit

agency that has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.7 million New
York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Each summer, over
4,000 children visit volunteer host families in rural, suburban and small town
communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada through The
Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program.
