UNIVERSITY DISTRICT—"Will Bake For Food", a charity event where bloggers bake goods in exchange for cans of nonperishable food items and cash donations, takes place November 12 from 11 am to 2 pm(or however long they still have baked goods). In 2010, at its inauguration, the event raised $1000 and organizers collected a ton(that's right you math nerds 2,000 pounds) of food to feed the hunry. They are hoping to double those totals this year. [EaterWire]
