Cake4Kids Sacramento
Ensuring Every Child is Celebrated

Cake4Kids has been providing cakes for children throughout the Sacramento region since 2018. The local chapter partners with nonprofits serving children and youth (ages 1-24) who are at-risk or underserved, including youth in foster care, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters like WEAVE’s Safehouse. Every cake or treat is unique to the child and reflects the child’s favorite flavors, colors, and themes. While it may not be ideal to celebrate a birthday in a shelter or foster home, Cake4Kids ensures that every child is celebrated on their special day.
