Cupcakes For A Cause

CUpcakes for a cause returns for eighth straight year

Cupcakes for a Cause, perhaps the sweetest event of the year, returns in September! From Sept. 7-10, our friends at Lunds & Byerlys will generously donate $1 of each gourmet cupcake sale to support our Open Arms clients. All Lunds & Byerlys stores are participating, so grab yourself and a friend a tasty treat and support medically tailored meals for our neighbors facing life-threatening illnesses.

Open Arms is proud to partner with organizations who go above and beyond in creating fun and exciting ways to support our clients. This is the eighth year of Cupcakes For A Cause and we are so grateful to Lunds & Byerlys for all the ways they support our mission. And a special thank you to all our volunteers who work the tasting events and our many supporters who purchase these delicious treats!
