Volunteer Spotlight


Lindsay Parker
Hi my name is Lindsay Parker and I'm from Los Altos in Northern California. I graduated this May from USC with a degree in Communication. During my four years at USC I played on the varsity women's soccer team. I am a very active person and I love to play and watch all sports; especially baseball, football, hockey, and soccer. Likewise, I adore children and I plan to spend this summer working as a camp counselor. In the fall, I will enroll in law school, although I haven't decided on a school yet. I really love volunteering with the children in the literacy project because it is so rewarding, and such a fulfilling way to spend my morning! Read my interview with FFGOIL President Susanne Foulk.
Hi, my name is Adam Hudson, and I work in web services at The University of Southern California. I met Susanne Foulk when I first moved out to Los Angeles, and she asked if I would be willing to redesign her website and serve as the webmaster. Little did I know that would also lead somehow to washing her car! I support the mission of the foundation and am happy to provide Susanne with web support. If you have any questions about the website, or are seek assistance on your own website feel free to contact me adamhuds@usc.edu.
Chelsea
My name is Chelsea.  I am 19 years old and I attend the University of Southern California majoring in Business Administration with a Marketing focus.   I am originally from Stockton, California.  After graduation I hope to work in advertising, eventually starting my own company.   In my spare time I enjoy exercising, shopping reading books and magazines, and going to the beach.  My philosophy on life is to live it to the fullest.  I believe that we should take advantage of every opportunity that we have to learn and have fun, because in doing so we become stronger individuals who have more to offer to the world.  My favorite quote is: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” by Eleanor Roosevelt.  I love this quote because I believe that dreams leave the legacies which we honor throughout history and dreamers make the world a better place.
Mishelle Colwell
Mishelle Colwell is a sophomore at the University of LaVerne. She says, "I think the ultimate benefit I have gotten to see in working with the Breakfast With Santa over the years has been the faces on the kids when they receive their Christmas presents!" Mishelle has been involved in raising money for toys and gifts for the children in foster care, as well as handing out the gifts to children on the day of the event since she was twelve years old. She looks forward to the event each year and in helping to wrap gifts with others at the Annual Toywrapping Party.
