Sydney Fredette has a lot of things to deal with．Not only is she a high school student，but she has also set up her own organization，Beary Merry Christmas．She volunteers（自愿）to serve poor kids and families in Orange Country in California，US．
To remember her best friend who died of cancer nearly 10 years ago，Fredette decided to serve those in Orange Country who are less lucky than she is．
She began with the simple idea of collecting donated（捐赠的）Build﹣A﹣Bears，the popular toy animal that is made by children themselves in the stores' workshops．Fredette then gave them as gifts to the homeless children in California during the holiday season．
With donations at more than 100 bears a year，Fredette and volunteers host 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 now hosts other activities for Valentine's Day，Mother's Day and Halloween，providing the chance for her volunteer team to make a difference through the year．
"I love making relationships with the people I serve，" Fredette said．"The thanks they have，hearing their stories and seeing how happy they are，it's so cool．"
Future plans for Fredette include building a public food bank and providing a self﹣development class for students in her school who will soon attend college．
Heading to college herself in the fall，Fredette is looking to stay local and continue to help out in her hometown．In fact，she was regarded as a "Dreamer & Doer" not long ago for her work in improving her community，along with 32 other high school students．
