For Goodness Cakes

Our mission at For Goodness Cakes is to give individual youth at least one special moment that is about them. By providing a child a treat made especially for them, it gives them some much needed time to not feel the increasing pressure of their socioeconomic situation, but rather help nurture optimism and confidence at a critical age. 

We currently have 9 chapters in 8 states.  The Twin Cities Chapter of For Goodness Cakes officially opened in October of 2020.  At present we have 170+ volunteer bakers, 20 partner agencies and have baked and delivered 100+ birthday and academic graduation cakes to underserved youth.  We primarily work with children and young adults in or aging out of foster care and those who are experiencing homelessness.  

We rely 100% on volunteer work and donations.  The donations we receive go right back into the organization to help further the onboarding of volunteers, outreach of partner agencies, general operating costs and volunteer recognition.  

If our mission speaks to you and you would like to make a contribution we would be most grateful.   Your contribution not only helps us deliver cakes to kids in need but also the message that someone in their community cares about them.
