Bruno Serato, the owner of Anaheim White House restaurant, has served 1 million meals to hungry children over 10 years.  The restaurateur's mission of serving pasta dinners to Orange County's neediest families paid homage to his humble beginnings in his homeland of Italy and led to him founding the service organization Caterina's Club, named in honor of his late mother.

Serato now serves more than 1,200 children daily in seven cities: Anaheim, Stanton, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Orange and Santa Ana.
