Cake4Kids Needs Your Help!

If you love baking cakes and have time to give back to your community, we want to meet YOU!

How It Works

We have volunteer opportunities across the country — check if we’re in your area: Chapters

We want volunteering to be fun, so you can go at your own pace! Whether you want to bake once a year or once a month, you choose the cake requests that you are comfortable baking and decorating and that work with your schedule.

Volunteer Prerequisites

All volunteers must:

  • Be 18 or older to volunteer independently

  • Be 16 or older to volunteer with an adult who is 18 or over as a parent-teen team

    • If you are 16 or 17 years old, have your parent or guardian complete the volunteer form. Your parent/guardian will be the primary responsible volunteer and the contact person for all Cake4Kids communications

    • Both you and your parent/guardian must attend new volunteer orientation

  • Attend a one-time new volunteer orientation session and pass a short orientation quiz

  • Be a good baker with reasonable decorating skills -- but you don’t need to be a professional by any means! Visit the Cake4Kids Photo Gallery for examples of cakes and treats our volunteers have made

  • Be able to bake and deliver the cake to Cake4Kids partner agencies during regular business hours, Monday–Friday

  • Follow the CDC, FDA, and USDA’s food safety guidance from FoodSafety.org: 4 Steps to Food Safety
