KFI AM 640 and Caterina's Club Help Feed Hungry Children 

The holidays are around the corner and it's easy to forget about those less fortunate when we get wrapped up in the spirit of the season. KFI AM 640 is teaming up with a new charity, Caterina's Club.

Join Bill Handel, Bill Carroll, John and Ken, Tim Conway Jr. and KFI NEWS as they come together for a live broadcast to support Bruno Serato's cause.

Donations of pasta, tomato sauce and cash will be accepted on site and online.

All donations will benefit Caterina's Club. Every penny will help feed these the hungry "motel kids."

Producer Michelle here.  I'll be live blogging Handel's antics throughout the morning.
