Tomorrow is our 21st anniversary, and our hearts are so full as we look back đź’–
It all started with Mamma Caterina. Bruno and his mother were visiting the Boys & Girls Club of Anaheim, where she noticed a 6-year-old boy eating potato chips for dinner because his family couldn’t afford a proper meal. She turned to Bruno and told him to make pasta for the child.
Soon, they realized he wasn’t the only one.
Bruno began cooking for 72 children, five nights a week. This became our Feeding the Kids program.
Today, that one small act of kindness has grown into thousands of meals served every week to children in underserved communities.
When we realized that food alone wasn’t enough, Welcome Home was born, helping families move out of motels and into safe, stable housing.
From there, our Hospitality Academy followed, giving teens real work experience, confidence, and a chance to build something for themselves.
All from one meal. One child. And we can’t wait for what’s next.
Be part of it✨🫶
