Croce Rossa Italiana

FCA Bank and its Leasys subsidiary take action to support Italy following the outbreak of Covid-19, by making available to the Italian Red Cross a fleet of 300 Fiat and Jeep vehicles on loan for 6 months as well as 5 biocontainment ambulances Fiat Ducato-based to contribute to address the health emergency.

Thanks to the extensive presence of Leasys Mobility Stores in Italy, Red Cross volunteers deployed throughout the country, through 700 territorial committees, were able to rely on sound support in their daily deliveries of basic necessities and medicines in Italian cities to people in need of assistance.





“Thanks to the generous donation by FCA Bank and its Leasys subsidiary, we were able to enhance our services and to be closer to the people that are in greater need of support at this time”, said Francesco Rocca, President of the Italian Red Cross.
“The elderly, the immunocompromised and all those who cannot go out to shop need someone who can do it for them. That’s what the Red Cross volunteers are for. That’s why there is Un’Italia che Aiuta (A Helping Italy)”.

“FCA Bank and Leasys are proud to have contributed in a tangible manner to the initiatives of the Italian Red Cross and its volunteers and make themselves available to the community by trying to support those who need help, to face and overcome together this emergency as soon as possible” said Giacomo Carelli FCA Bank’s CEO and General Manager.

FCA Bank is providing further support to the Italian Red Cross by taking part in the crowdfunding project launched by Crédit Agricole Italia through the CrowdForLife portal
(available at www.ca-crowdforlife.it). The donations received will be used to fund the Red Cross’s initiative called “The Time of Kindness”.

One million euros to provide concrete help against the Coronavirus emergency and to ensure psychological, healthcare and social assistance to all the categories that are experiencing difficulties.

Thanks to these funds the Italian Red Cross will be able to set up a hospital field with all the necessary equipment, and to purchase ambulances and special vehicles for safe emergency transportations.
