Generosity is in Full Swing, and You Can Join the Mission!

The holiday season is a time for giving, and here at The Cake Girl, we’re thrilled to see the incredible generosity pouring in for our 2nd Annual “Fill the Van” initiative! This heartfelt campaign aims to brighten the holidays for local foster kids and veterans in need, and thanks to our amazing community, we’re already off to an inspiring start.

Two standout donors have already stepped up in a major way:

• Martin Hernandez, a well-known Tampa Personal Injury Lawyer, generously contributed a $1,000 check to help make the season brighter.

• Chris and Ashley Casey, entrepreneurs and community leaders, donated $1,000, showing their unwavering commitment to making a difference.

  
  

We’re also incredibly grateful to our partners at Rustic Love Vintage and More. Their continued support over the last five years has been instrumental in making this initiative a success. As a minority-owned, family-run business, Rustic Love shares our passion for giving back to the community. This year, they’re joining us again as a drop-off location, located at 13717 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618.

To thank donors, Rustic Love is offering 15% off purchases for donations made at their store this week only. It’s the perfect opportunity to give back while finding something special for yourself or a loved one!

Why It Matters

Every donation, no matter the size, contributes to a larger mission: spreading joy, love, and kindness during the holidays. Together, we can ensure that no child or veteran feels forgotten this season.
