Cake4Kids Coachella Valley delivers its 1000th cake
Cake4Kids, a non-profit organization whose local chapter was formed in 2022, celebrated a milestone recently by delivering its 1000th cake to a local student.
Driving the news: On Dec. 19, a [local elementary school student], was the recipient of a pink birthday cake.
Volunteer baker Steve Salva was on hand for the delivery, as was Ray Biller, who founded the local chapter, Gavin Sadow, a school counselor who helps get the cakes ordered each month, and Kirsten Moll, the youth’s teacher.
Zoom in: All cakes are baked and delivered by the more than 100 volunteers who respond to requests from local agencies, including the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs, Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, and more.
The organizations help identify children in need of birthday, graduation, adoption, or special recognition cakes.
The impact: Cake4Kids' mission is to provide cakes for children who might not otherwise receive one for momentous occasions in their lives, bringing a touch of sweetness and celebration to those in need.
But wait: Cake4Kids is actively seeking more volunteer bakers to meet the demand for cakes. Interested individuals can register at cake4kids.org/volunteer.
