About Caterina's Club
Sir Bruno Serato established Caterina's Club, which is named for his beloved mother, after the 2 visited a local Boys and Girls Club and saw a 7-year-old boy eating a bag of potato chips. When Caterina learned that the snack was all he had for dinner, she instructed her son to head back to the restaurant and feed the children pasta. Today the nonprofit feeds some 2,000 children daily and well over one million meals have been served as the need keeps growing. His influence has extended far beyond Southern California to include Chicago, New York, Texas, Mexico and Italy. Not content to merely feed these families, Serato has extended his mission by moving many of the “motel families” into permanent housing. He has helped hundreds of families escape motel living by finding them apartments of their own and their lives have improved considerably. For more information, visit www.caterinasclub.org.
