Croce Rossa Italiana
FCA Bank takes action to support Italy following the outbreak of Covid-19.
Thanks to the extensive presence of Drivalia 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.
“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.
