Cake4Kids, the national nonprofit that mobilizes volunteer bakers to deliver custom cakes and desserts to underserved children, will celebrate a landmark milestone on May 2, 2026: 100,000 children served nationwide. The Greater Boston chapter, marking its own fifth anniversary, will host a free, open-to-the-public Cupcake Picnic to honor the achievement and rally community support for continued expansion. The event is part of Cake4Kids' nationwide 100,000 Moments campaign, with details at cake4kids.org/100000-moments/boston.
Since its founding in 2010, Cake4Kids has grown into a volunteer-driven network of thousands of bakers across 19 states, delivering custom cakes and desserts to children in foster care, homeless shelters, group homes, and domestic violence shelters — all at no cost to recipients or partner agencies. The milestone of 100,000 children served underscores the organization's impact and the dedication of its volunteers.
The Greater Boston chapter, established five years ago, has been instrumental in this achievement. The Cupcake Picnic on May 2 will bring together volunteers, community members, and partner agencies to celebrate and to raise awareness of the ongoing need. Cake4Kids of Boston is actively seeking new partnerships with local agencies to expand their reach and serve more children in the Greater Boston area. Interested organizations can learn more about partnering through the campaign website.
