Calling all home-bakers in Alameda County!
Cake4Kids needs volunteers in the community to bake and deliver birthday cakes, cupcakes and cookies, bars or brownies for underprivileged youth, ages 1-24.
How does volunteering work?
All volunteers must be 16 or older to volunteer
If 16-18, you must volunteer with a parent or guardian
No minimum commitments - you choose how often you want to volunteer
Volunteers must bake and deliver
Sign up from our online calendar (based on theme, type of dessert requested, delivery date/time and address)
Bake in your home
Deliver the finished sweets to the agency who placed the request, located in Oakland, Hayward, Berkeley and more
All deliveries are Monday-Friday during business hours
Our volunteers never meet the children we support, but every cake is custom-made especially for each child and makes an impact. To understand the difference one cake can make, take a look at some of the feedback we have received:
"She enjoyed the cake with her case manager and described it as being moist and delicious. Since she hasn't been able to celebrate her birthday in a few years, she was extremely grateful for the cake."
"I just wanted to thank you for making my son's birthday so happy. I wasn't able to give him a party. I'm a domestic violence victim, a single parent of 4. My income is so low that this cake was the best gift ever to him. I made him pancakes as a special breakfast, and then surprised him with the cupcakes. Thank you so much."

Mission Statement
At Cake4Kids, we bake and deliver birthday cakes for foster children and at risk youth. We support all sorts of under-privileged children and youth - they might be in group homes, at a domestic violence or human trafficking agency/shelter, in low income housing with or without a parent or even homeless. We aim to raise these children's self-esteem and confidence with this seemingly simple gift on their special day. It may just be a cake, but the children we bake for know somebody took the time and effort to do something special just for them. The children realize they are important and in turn can have an impact on the world. Cake4Kids is powered by an amazing and compassionate group of volunteers. Our bakers are mostly home-bakers. There are no minimum commitments - you choose how often you want to bake a cake for us. It's pretty simple - a Cake4Kids volunteer baker chooses a cake theme from our online calendar and bakes the cake in their own home and delivers the cake to one of the agencies we serve. Our volunteers never meet the children we support, but every cake is custom-made specially for each child with love.
