In Sag Harbor and Amagansett this weekend, a bake sale and a spaghetti dinner, respectively, will raise money for charitable endeavors.

Donations will go to Doctors Without Borders and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.

East Hampton Rotary and its Interact Club will host a spaghetti and meatball dinner on Sunday from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in Amagansett. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $10 for children. Dinners can also be donated to Meals on Wheels. The hall is at the northeast corner of Montauk Highway and Abraham's Path.
