We aim to raise their self-esteem with this seemingly simple gift on their special day. Cake4Kids supports as many at-risk youth as possible in the communities we serve, including homeless youth, victims of human trafficking and domestic violence, kids in transitional housing, and those in foster care. We are proud to bake for good and support the youth of Willamette Valley!Even though volunteers buy their own ingredients and bake and deliver the cakes, we have operating costs like any other company, our biggest being staffing. Our concept of a cake for an underserved youth is fairly simple, but the logistics and scale of our organization require that we are staffed to ensure we can deliver our services on time and at a consistent high quality. Cake4Kids operations is run by a small team, based in California and Virginia, that handles all of the day-to-day logistics. Cake4Kids is privately funded by donations from individuals, small local companies, grants, and events. The fundraising coordinator will work with the Ambassador to create an annual plan to support the local fundraising goals, help grow the donor database, and gain support for the Cake4Kids mission from the local business community.This is a volunteer opportunity provided by VolunteerMatch, in partnership with LinkedIn for Good.
