She volunteers（志愿） to offer services to poor children and families in Orange Country in California, US.

She began with the easy idea of collecting donated（捐贈） BuildABears, the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores39。 workshops. Fredette then gave them as presents to the homeless children in California during the holiday season. With donations at more than 100 bears a year, Fredette and volunteers hold activities every year, where volunteers not only give out the bears, but also clothing, meals, and other things. Not wanting to limit（限制） the giving to just the holiday months, Fredette held other activities for Valentine39。s Day, Mother39。s Day and Halloween, offering the chance to her volunteer team to make a difference through the year. I love making friends with the people I offer services to, Fredette said. It39。s so cool to hear their stories and see how happy they are.
