500,000th Meal Celebration

Celebs Join In Milestone Event at Anaheim White House

Mix together 1 Oscar winner, 2 star NHL players, a couple of local newscasters, a reality TV star and a man with a giant heart and what do you get?   Tons of love and compassion for one of the neediest segments of our population -- 200 local area “motel kids” who will attend the Anaheim White House gala celebrating the 500,000th meal served through the nonprofit Caterina’s Club.

Before diving into the food, the children will have a ball -- literally -- as 30 massive beach balls and 2 bounce houses will help transform the lawn outside of the restaurant’s West Wing into a colorful playground.  On hand to help serve dinner afterwards are Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, Anaheim Ducks players Bobby Ryan and Teemu Selanne, “OC Housewives’” star Vicki Gunvalson, newscaster Wendy Burch and 2 of the world’s biggest celebs whose identity will be revealed at the event to be held Tuesday, February 19 at 3 p.m. (887 South Anaheim Street, Anaheim).

In honor of his mother, Bruno Serato founded Caterina’s Club, an organization dedicated to making sure the region’s most vulnerable population – its children -- receive a hot meal before they are tucked into bed each evening. The milestone dinner served on Feb 19 will include stuffed ravioli, filet mignon with mushroom sauce & chocolate cake.  Usually, they enjoy pasta dinner, which is served 7 nights a week.  In addition to the nightly meals, Serato has begun placing some of these families into homes of their own.

Serato's extreme generosity has earned him worldwide status.  He was named one of CNN's 10 Heroes of the Year and has been featured in magazines (People, Elle, Vogue), television ("CBS Evening News," "EXTRA,") and newspapers (New York Times, Los Angeles Times, OC Register) countless times.  He is due to become knighted by the Italian government, was honored on the steps of the U.S. Capitol with a humanitarian award and has received any number of proclamations, Man of the Year awards and other forms of recognition.

‘Chef’ Sanchez Helps Feed Kids in SoCal

John Holt, Reporter @nyjets #JH

Original article here

For Mark Sanchez, Orange County, Calif., has always held a special place in his heart.

It’s where he spent his childhood and established some of his fondest early memories.

The Jets QB returned there shortly after the 2012 season concluded and wanted to make a difference.

On Feb. 1, he reached out to the Long Beach Volunteer Center and helped distribute food to Grant Elementary School. The Food-For-Kids program delivers filled grocery bags of food to hungry elementary school students.

The giving back didn’t stop there. Last week No. 6 visited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Anaheim and passed out food to 300 children.

"This means a lot, because you actually do some of the work," Sanchez told the Orange County Register. "The demographic of these kids — there's a lot of Hispanics, and that means a lot to me, helping underprivileged kids that don't get a ton of help.

"These are the kids we really want to channel our energy and effort to help."

Hours before attending the Boys & Girls Club, Sanchez stopped by the Anaheim White House Restaurant to actively prepare the food items. Inside the kitchen, he was instructed by chef Bruno Serato.

The 6’2”, 225-pounder dropped noodles into a pasta boiler, sliced broccoli and tomatoes and placed each ingredient into a large mixing bowl with marinara sauce. While the last part of the recipe was pre-cut chicken, Sanchez’s final task was to stir everything. Before exiting the restaurant, he presented Serato with a check for an undisclosed amount.

When the 26-year-old arrived at the Boys & Girls Club, he was welcomed with open arms. Before entering the kitchen to serve the food, he took a tour of the facility, posed for pictures with children and signed autographs.

"I want to meet these kids, whether I'm playing handball with them or giving them food to eat," Sanchez said. "Let's interact. Let's do some hands-on stuff; some low-key stuff that doesn't get a lot of attention, and this is perfect."

When he finished his duties in the kitchen, the former USC Trojan went outside and provided the kids an afternoon to remember, leading them in some passing routes.

"You see these kids,” the Green & White signalcaller said. “They're awesome, and all they want to do is come up and give you a high-five and they smile. ... It's a great thing to see."
