According to The OakBook, Samin Nosrat, a local blogger has organized bake sales to raise money for Haiti’s Partners in Health.  Two of the three locations are in the East Bay, and the goal is $10,000 – so get out there and buy some baked goods!
5008 Telegraph Ave, Oakland (Pizzaiolo)
1586 Hopkins St, Berkeley (Gioia Pizzeria)
Sat 1/23, 10am – 2pm

Congratulations to the owners of Cioccolata Di Vino. Their one year anniversary celebration will include food, wine (of course) and live jazz by the Aaron Sage Trio.
1801 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley
Sat 1/23, 6 – 11 pm

The Souper Bowl is at Fenestra Winery this year…but don’t be mad if they aren’t showing the game.  This event is all about sampling award winning wines and tasting soups made by local chefs.
83 Vallecitos Road, Livermore
Sat and Sun 1/23 – 1/24, Noon – 5pm
$10 (includes a logo wine glass and plate), $5 for non-drinkers and kids

On Sunday, Slow Food East Bay is meeting the Roli Roti truck at the Hanger One distillery.  After a porchetta sandwich lunch, the group will go on a 60-90 minute tour when (legal) participants can sample vodkas and spirits.
Sun 1/24, 12 – 2:30pm
2601 Monarch Street, Alameda
$20 ($10-15 extra for optional vodka tasting)

Next week you can eat “feel good fresh food” and support non-profit organizations simultaneously.  Amanda’s is donating 15% of sales to Girls on the Run Bay Area on Monday and 15% to Partners in Health – Haitian Earthquake Relief on Tuesday.  I recommend the chicken sandwich – but don’t forget to add roasted onions, avocado and a squirt of ketchup.
2122 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley
Mon 1/25, after 4pm
Tues 1/26, 8am – 9pm

I wrote about Chop Bar’s happy hour last week.  On top of the free hors d’oeuvres and drink specials, this Monday’s event features live painting and art exhibit by local artists and an art and wine raffle.  Punctual people get the best deal because the first 30 people will get a password that extends their happy hour prices an extra hour.  All of the raffle proceeds and donations collected are going to be sent to Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.
247 4th Street, Oakland
Mon 1/25, 4:30-6:30

According to Oakland Local, Thighbones Catering and Baysic Tutorials are offering a Free Cooking Class in the West Oakland Library Multi-Purpose Room.  It will be part of an ongoing class to teach families how to make healthy meals.  They are accepting donations of equipment and fresh produce.  If you would like to sign-up for the class or make a donation, just give them a call at 510-830-9034.
1801 Adeline Street, Oakland
Tues 1/26, 2 – 5:30pm
Free
