Show Notes
Caterina’s Club’s mission is to provide warm meals, affordable housing assistance, and job training to homeless and low-income families throughout Southern California. It is supported by a vision where we are creating a modicum of consistency in these children’s lives through something as simple yet meaningful as a nightly dinner.
This overarching vision that started as preventing children in motels from going to bed hungry has turned into 5,055 vulnerable children receiving a meal every day at 114 sites throughout LA and Orange Counties; 268 families have been placed in permanent housing in safe neighborhoods through our Welcome Home program, and 850+ teens have trained through the Hospitality Academy at four Anaheim High Schools. Our vision is to provide every child with the resources, love, and encouragement they need to be healthy, safe, and educated.
It all started with Mamma Caterina. Bruno and his mother, Caterina, visited the Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim down the street from his restaurant (Anaheim White House), where his mother noticed that there was a 6-year old boy eating potato chips for dinner, because his family couldn’t afford a proper meal. Caterina insisted that Bruno make some pasta for the child. They soon realized that there were many more of these hungry ‘motel children’, so Bruno began making pasta for 72 children, 5 nights a week, giving birth to our program “Feeding the Kids in America”. Today, that event has expanded to feeding over 25,025 meals a week. Frustrated that feeding the children was not enough, Bruno began a second program called “Welcome Home”, where we provide qualified families, living in the dark environment of a motel, with the necessary resources to move into the safety and stability of an apartment or condo.
In this podcast, Lisa Foxx talks to Chef Bruno Serato about how Caterina's Club got started AND what we can do to help him continue to feed THOUSANDS of motel-kids in need. They also teach kids to cook on their own and help rehouse families. Their annual Pastathon is on Giving Tuesday...please give if you can!
Come by on Giving Tuesday and see the LIVE broadcast, donate on-site, and drop off pasta/sauce donations. This year, we’re celebrating a significant milestone—10 million meals served to disadvantaged youth. Your generosity has been instrumental in reaching this goal, and we’re so grateful for your continued commitment. Even if you can’t attend, you can still participate in the excitement of our auction from anywhere. Be sure to spread the word to friends, family, and colleagues. Check out some fantastic auction items on our website!
