Idaho 44: Kootenai County - How one nonprofit is making a sweet impact

For the last 15 years a group of volunteers has been quietly baking birthday cakes for neighbors, people in hospice, veterans, children in foster care, and anyone else who might need a little community love and cheer.

They're called "Community Cakes," and their tagline is “baking our community a better place."

This year the nonprofit opened up a North Idaho chapter in Kootenai County which is one of the 44 counties we’re visiting as part of our Idaho 44 project.

Alice Mickelson is the vice president and co-founder of Community Cakes, and she joined Idaho Matters to tell us about how one cake can make a big difference in someone’s life.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
