Help Us Deliver Smiles in More Underserved Neighborhoods
At Cake4Kids, our mission is to help underserved children and youth, ages of 1-24, across the United States. We hope to raise their self-esteem and make them feel loved on their special day, whether it’s their birthday, graduation, or adoption. If you feel moved by our mission, love to bake cakes, have time to commit to your community, and would like to explore opening a Cake4Kids chapter in your area, please read on!
Make a Difference in Your Community as a Cake4Kids Ambassador
Opening a Cake4Kids chapter is an undertaking that requires time, passion, and commitment, but the rewards are vast and heartwarming. As a Cake4Kids Ambassador, you get to see first-hand the immense impact we can make on a child’s life with a seemingly simple gift of a custom homemade cake.
Cake4Kids Ambassadors receive support from our leadership and operations staff every step of the way. We are here to help you build a strong Cake4Kids community, with the ultimate goal of delivering smiles to as many youth as possible!
There is an increasing need for support in underserved and at-risk youth populations across the country, but at the same time, we’ve also seen growing interest in baking and volunteering with Cake4Kids, including from many areas we don’t currently serve. We are excited to know that there are so many amazing individuals who’d like to bring Cake4Kids to their community.
Important Considerations Before Starting
Starting a Cake4Kids chapter is a very rewarding experience, but it is also a serious endeavor. When we decide to open up a chapter, we set expectations in the community and with the agencies we partner with. Many of the children we serve have been let down so many times — Cake4Kids must always fulfill the promises we make to them.
