Every child deserves a birthday cake.

Do you know a child who needs a birthday cake, but for financial, health or other reasons their family will not be able to provide one?


We are a dedicated group of individuals who have come together in the belief that every child deserves a birthday cake. Our goal is to reach out to as many children as we can with the important task of sending them a message that there are people who care about them.


If you know a child that needs a birthday cake, please contact:
Benedicte Eades, Chapter Organizer of Free Cakes for Kids at:(509) 388-9593 or benedicteeades@yahoo.com

At least one week's notice is requested to provide a cake.


We also encourage you to contact us if you are interested in volunteering, or you are a business willing to donate a cake, cake supplies, or funds for our project.

The Children's Village blog contains photos, news, videos and features about Children's Village and the ongoing expansion. Children’s Village was created at the exact moment in time destined to be precisely what our region would need today.
