Anaheim restaurant owner is a hands-on philanthropist
Handing out turkeys, cooking pasta for kids at Boys and Girls Clubs and helping the needy pay rent are ways an Italian immigrant gives back to his community.
By Nicole Santa Cruz, Los Angeles Times
"Turkey," he calls out, the Italian in his voice still thick. "Turkey!"

Thank you for all of the support you have given
to the Anaheim White House this past year.
It has been a wonderful holiday
season and the time for giving has not passed. This week alone, Bruno has
delivered food and turkeys to over 500 families in need. This has been made
possible with 100% volunteer hours from Bruno and his friends, especially the
wonderful students of Chapman University.
Our wonderful volunteers have been a
big help to Bruno, because if he had delivered all of those turkeys himself, he
might have fainted. The past three Caterina's Club events with KFI, AVNET, and
the Chef's Dinner, held in the past 2 months have helped raise close to
$300,000.00. These much needed funds will help further the cause of Caterina's
Club into the New Year as we continue to work with the Motel Kids Program at
the Boys and Girls Clubs of Anaheim and progress towards our own "Move Out Program".
We hope to move out 50 families from one bedroom motel rooms to
two bedroom apartments for the 2013 year and this could not be done without the
help of you, our loyal customers. If you know of any families that are living
in motels and may qualify for our program, please contact Jamie at
714-772-1381. Also, if you would like to support our valuable work, and get in
one more donation before the tax year ends please visit
our online donation site at www.thecaterinasclub.org.
