Los Angeles area Chef Bruno Serato has run a very successful restaurant (The White House) and catering business for over 20 years. What makes him especially interesting is his heart for the children that live in the area that surrounds the restaurant itself. Chef Bruno noticed the many motels that were in the immediate area and every afternoon, the many, many children who were left there, mostly on their own as both parents worked to keep even that roof over their heads. Most of those children only received meals at the public school that they attended and worried about them, Chef Bruno and his mother decided that they could help. Every afternoon, from that day forward, he has fed the children in the area of his restaurant a meal of pasta and vegetables that he donates and prepares in the kitchen and serves in the closed restaurant from 3-5pm. Over the years, this program has grown to feed 1500 children in other Los Angeles poor areas through corporate sponsorship from Barilla and other food companies and in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles, Long Beach and Anaheim areas. Chef Bruno has also expanded the program to include teaching the older children to cook the meals so they not only can help feed their own families, but also have trade experience to gain employment when they are old enough. To accomplish all of the above, Chef Bruno and his Mother founded Caterina’s Club, a 501 c (3) non-profit organization. This organization is a worthy addition to the Youngevity Be The Change Foundation list of sponsored charities for many reasons.
