You are warmly invited to join us for a special afternoon of service, connection, and community.
Cupcakes & Kindness is more than a volunteer event—it’s a chance to come together across generations and backgrounds to make a meaningful impact right here in our community.
Together, we will prepare fresh salads and bake cupcakes for 40–50 guests of the JOURNEYS STEP Shelter in Palatine, offering not just food, but care, dignity, and welcome.
Bring your children, invite a friend, or come on your own—we’ll have meaningful ways for everyone to participate. At our last gathering, volunteers described the experience as a joyful, interfaith, intergenerational celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. In fact, the inspiration for this event came from an 8-year-old participant who said, “There’s no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon.”
What to expect:
•A hands-on, 90-minute service experience
•Opportunities for all ages to contribute
•A warm, welcoming environment rooted in shared purpose
•A chance to connect with fellow League members and community partners
•This event reflects the League’s commitment to civic engagement in action—showing how small acts of kindness can ripple outward to create real change.
•We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful and memorable afternoon.
Neighbors helping neighbors—one cupcake at a time.
