Free Cakes for Kids!

First off, welcome to my new friends from BlogCatalog! Nice to see you drop by! Now go spam everyone you know and tell them to come here, too.....!

Now then. This week's charity comes courtesy of my sharp-eyed spouse, who saw an article on this in People and suggested it to me. Foster parent Toni Poulos of Trenton, Ga., made a birthday cake for one of her foster kids -- and it turned out the eight-year-old had never had a birthday cake before. Toni rightly figured that other kids didn't have a cake, either, and that someone should do something about it.

So she did. And others joined her. Today, Free Cakes for Kids is a network of dozens of home bakers who do what they can to bring a little happiness to the lives of kids around the country. They bake for the poor, the hospitalized, really anyone who needs one. Check out their site here, and you'll see that this little band of bakers are making a big difference.

And then click here to donate $5 to the cause -- in this case, that'll likely pay for the cake mix and icing!
