IT STARTED WITH ONE SIMPLE ACT

A table with
room for more.

In 2005, Chef Bruno Serato and his mother, Caterina, visited the Boys & Girls Club of Anaheim. Seeing a child eating potato chips for dinner moved Caterina to ask Bruno to make pasta.

That act grew into Caterina’s Club. Today, its work reaches beyond dinner to help families find stability and teens discover new possibilities.

THREE WAYS TO CHANGE A DAY

It’s bigger than pasta.

Food matters. So do a stable home and a chance to build a future. Caterina’s Club brings those needs together through three core programs.
