Project of EcoSavvy Compassion
Because every child deserves to be celebrated.
The Heart Behind It
With SNAP benefits being reduced, many families across Southwest Missouri faced even greater challenges meeting daily food needs, making special items like birthday cakes, impossible luxuries. Operation Birthday Cake was born from compassion, the C in the EcoSavvy CARES Model, to make sure that no child’s special day goes uncelebrated simply because their family is struggling. Through this initiative, we partner with local bakers like Muffin Tops & Cake Pops, The FrostedFae and Zave’s Cakes to provide one birthday cake each week to a child in need in Jasper or Newton Counties.
Our goal is to bake joy into every celebration while highlighting the importance of local sustainability and community care.
🐝 Why It Matters
❤️ Strengthens community compassion
🎂 Reduces food insecurity stress for families
🌎 Supports local bakers using locally sourced ingredients
🌿 Promotes EcoSavvy’s mission to build resilient, caring communities
💡 How You Can Help
Donate, sponsor a cake, or volunteer your time.
Every dollar helps a child feel seen, celebrated, and loved.
