Italian Red Cross Monza mobile health unit fundraising

Overview

The Monza Committee of the Italian Red Cross initiated the ‘Chef for health’ project to fund a mobile proximity health unit. Valued at approximately 100,000 euros, the vehicle is intended to provide healthcare services, such as blood pressure and glucose monitoring, to citizens in Monza and ten surrounding municipalities who struggle to access medical facilities.

To finance the unit, the organization launched a fundraising campaign involving local Michelin-starred chefs and a gala dinner. The initiative progressed to a second edition of the ‘Chef for Health’ event at the Il Moro restaurant, where eight chefs participated in a gourmet evening to raise funds for the itinerant clinic, which aims to assist vulnerable populations, including the elderly and people with disabilities.
