There are many ways to support Southampton Fresh
Air Home and its programs for physically challenged
children. Such support involves donations and
contributions, as well as volunteering to assist
us in promoting and staging our major fundraising
efforts. For over a century our extended family
of friends and supporters has maintained a strong
commitment to our mission. We have grown and
flourished with their help, and we rely on them to
spread the word about us and our programs.
