About Cake4Kids DC

Cake4Kids’ DC Chapter opened in March 2020 at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite getting put on pause immediately after launching, we reopened as soon as we could and have been delivering birthday smiles to children all around Washington, DC.

Cake4Kids partners with agencies that support youth in foster care, homeless, domestic violence or human trafficking shelters, substance abuse programs, and refugees. We deliver cakes and other special treats to these youth to celebrate their birthdays and other exciting moments in their lives.
