“Riley entered foster care just three days before her 4th birthday.

She was removed from her parents during a traffic stop, found unbuckled in the back seat while both parents were under the influence. Investigators found that Riley had been living in unsafe conditions, often locked in a room for hours.

When her foster family picked her up, she had no shoes and no belongings.”‍ ‍

- Caseworker for Riley

For youth just like Riley, Cake4Kids is a reminder that someone cares. Every cake, cupcake, cookie is a way to show a child they deserve to be celebrated. In the face of hardship and trauma, it’s more than a dessert — it’s a small moment to say “you are valued, you have not been forgotten.”

Throughout April, we’re hosting sweet experiences and community events for YOU and your friends in Cake4Kids chapters across the country. We hope you’ll be part of this incredible moment and help pave the way for us to reach the next 100,000 youth who need and deserve to be supported and valued! See you there!
