Sweets for the Soul Project
I like to give back to the community by helping organizations and families in need. If you know of a family experiencing a hardship, please nominate them for a gift of pastries, bread, cookies or cake. I also take requests for donations for school or sports fundraisers and partnerships with non profits.
Cameron Livesay, Soul Man Sweets, is a popular baker in Carroll County Maryland. At age 9 he started his baking business, Soul Man Sweets. A year later at age 10, he started a community giving project, Sweets for the Soul, donating time and a portion of his sales to people and organizations in need. He is a writer for the Farmers’ Almanac, has baked for celebrities, weddings, corporate events, local vineyards and breweries and more. Cam has gained attention with both his baking and cooking skills winning National competitions and competing against restaurants and celebrity chefs.
His giving project, Sweets for the Soul, has donated to the Carroll Community College Foundation scholarship program, Lifebridge Health, local schools, nursing homes, Carroll Arts Center, Grassroots Crisis Intervention, B+ Foundation, St. Jude, Conectando US and local sports teams. He is a friend of the Carroll County Public Library System and supporter of Library events such as Battle of the Books and author events.
A big part of the Sweets for the Soul Project is helping families in need. This includes meals and fundraisers for families with an illness or loss, providing birthday cakes to families that cannot afford one, delivering Christmas gifts to shut ins on Christmas Eve to help them feel less alone, and setting up a Christmas “Shop” where kids can pick out gifts for siblings and parents and experience the “gift of giving.” Since the Sweets for the Soul Project began, he has been able to help over 100 families.
The project was recognized with the Light of Carroll Award from the Carroll County Public Library, the Hey! Westminster Grant, The Baltimore Orioles’ Community Hero’s Program, Baltimore Ravens Community Quarterback Award and the Care Bravely Youth in Philanthropy award from LifeBridge Health.
