Food can feed in many ways. Aside from sampling high end restaurants or making a muck in the kitchen, there’s plenty of routes to rising above merely filling one’s stomach.

Here’s two upcoming Boston events that you should consider attending and donating to:

Cooking for a Cause - Thursday, March 25, 2010, 6-10 p.m. at the Harborview Ballroom in the Seaport World Trade Center. Super hot chefs (like Jody Adams, Tony Maws, and Jamie Bissonnette!) and mixologists serve up their best to benefit worthy cause East End House, a community center and social service agency.

Boston Symphony Orchestra food drive for The Greater Boston Food Bank – Thursday, April 1, Friday April 2, and Saturday April 3 at Symphony Hall. Either drop off canned food (no glass or baby food/formula) before and during intermissions of 8pm performances of Mendelssohn’s oratorio Elijah. Or, if you can’t make the concert, just leave your donations in the collection boxes between 7 and 8pm. Even better: make a cash donation.
