Biography
Teri Sue Parker began her career of community service in Lincoln City Oregon, where she raised two daughters, and hosted a local TV show, Wake Up Lincoln City. Her messages on the show combined with her community service, resulted in her being nominated for woman of the year. Then in 1977 she was Mrs. Lincoln City, Mrs. Physical Fitness, Mrs. Congeniality, and Mrs. Community Service… Now, after marrying her husband Dr. Bruce Parker and moving to Temecula, she has found her place, making a difference, in community service.

When COVID began to close the city, her first concern was, seniors… After seeing the long lines in the grocery, she thought, how are seniors that are at risk and cannot leave their home, going to eat? Being a woman of action, she immediately made a sign and planted it in her front yard next to a big box, and “Operation Temecula Food Drive” began! Reaching out to local businesses, she received her first charitable donation from a loving Chamber of Commerce member, which validated the need for OTFD.

Since then, she has fed hundreds of isolated seniors, cancer patients, wounded veterans, and families at risk. Her service was noticed by California Assembly member of the 75th district Marie Walden, who recognized her as being a COVID-19 Community hero. Now OTFD has officially become a non-profit organization, “Good Samaritan Community Food Pantry. Besides serving the isolated seniors, and families at risk, she wanted them to have a wonderful 2020 holiday season and following her message, Live, Love, Give… She launched a successful adopt a senior and family program, for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This program has contributed a new spark of love within Temecula Valley.
