A heartbreaking reality has set in across Italy as it begins to mobilize after the devastating COVID-19 outbreak. The human and economic impact of this pandemic is being felt across the country, and the needs are great – especially for the most vulnerable.
The Italian Red Cross, together with the Italian Civil Protection Department, is at the forefront of the response in Italy. Its vital role includes activities such as ambulance services, the delivery of medical equipment and protective gear for health professionals, food and medicine supply, providing information on the emergency, and support to the Ministry of Health in getting health professionals on the ground.
In an effort to help, the Embassy of Italy to Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross, has launched a fundraising campaign to support the Italian Red Cross’s COVID-19 preparedness and response activities.
On May 28, a virtual dining experience in support of the “Covid-19 AiutiAMO l’Italia” campaign will take place, featuring Michelin 3-star Chef, Heinz Beck.
The event is organized by the Embassy of Italy to Canada, the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario (ICCO), the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada West, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada, and the Italian Trade Agency, in collaboration with the Embassy of Canada to Italy, the Consulate General of Italy in Montréal, the Consulate General of Italy in Toronto, the Consulate General of Italy in Vancouver, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Montréal, and the Italian National Tourist Board.
