Reggio Calabria: policemen buy basic necessities and easter eggs and deliver them to families reported by Caritas
Nestlé Perugina, a longtime partner of the Postal Police in prevention campaigns in favor of minors, has donated over 5 Easter eggs to the young hospitalized patients at the Gaslini pediatric hospital in Genoa and the pediatric ward of the Brescia hospital. The same gift was received by the children of policemen suffering from serious pathologies assisted by the "Marco Valerio" plan of the Rome Police Headquarters.
An exceptional delivery that saw the women and men of the State Police become ambassadors of a gesture of great love towards the small patients who, on the occasion of Easter, are forced to remain in the hospital.
Nestlé Perugina also delivered Easter eggs for the children of the policemen who provide operational service in the 14 Italian provinces that are most affected by the Coronavirus, according to the list drawn up by the National Civil Protection.
“In Italy as a company we have already made available almost 6 million euros to support local communities, employees and the supply chain. We have distributed food, beverages and financial support to basic health facilities. In this context, we would like to give our small contribution on the occasion of Easter also to the children in the hospital to give them a gesture of love - says Marco Travaglia, CEO of Nestlé Italy and Malta - Thanks to the State Police who made it possible to give children a smile "
FROM THE XI MOBILE DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE POLICE OF PALERMO A COLLECTION OF FUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF A PRESSURE-VOLUMETRIC PULMONARY FAN

Voluntary fundraising was strongly desired by the staff of the XI Mobile Department, as a tangible sign of gratitude to all the Healthcare staff engaged on the front line.
“To the Doctors, Nurses, Social Healthcare Workers and Staff all in service at the structure of the Cervello Hospital, our esteem for the daily commitment lavished without ever sparing ourselves in defense of human life, the most precious asset. Thank you!"; with this message of trust, the police officers delivered the medical device needed for resuscitation therapy to D. Tiziana Maniscalchi, Head of First Aid, and to D. Carmela Sferrazza, representing the doctors working on the front line at the Presidio. .
After all, "always being there" is the motto chosen for the celebration of the 165th anniversary of the Foundation of the State Police and this is a further generous presence that is worthily accompanying the institutional role.
PALERMO: AT A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT TIME, THE STATE POLICE IS MOBILIZED IN FAVOR OF THE MOST NEEDED
In relation to the current health emergency scenario, determined by the growing spread of the COVID-19 contagion in the country, the State Police has undertaken a solidarity initiative in favor of the less affluent families of the capital. The inevitable repercussions in the socio-economic fabric of the city, consequent to the rigorous, but necessary, measures adopted by the Government for the containment of the contagion to protect the irrepressible good of public health, raise the moral need to implement appropriate actions to support of the most economically disadvantaged social groups.
On the basis of these reflections and with the primary intention of giving a sign of tangible and concrete solidarity, also in view of the approach of Holy Easter, a fundraiser was promoted, through spontaneous donations by the police of Palermo, for the purchase of shopping vouchers, for the purchase of basic food items, to be distributed, also with the collaboration of local voluntary associations, to families living in some of the city districts characterized by large pockets of social and economic hardship, such as Cep, the Albergheria and Borgo Vecchio. The generosity and great sensitivity shown by the Palermo policemen made it possible to reach the figure of 9.000 euros, for which about 400 shopping vouchers were delivered, which today were distributed to needy families, also through the collaboration of voluntary associations " Borgo Vecchio nel Cuore ”, Women of Benin City”, “Fatima”, “San Giovanni Apostolo Onlus” and the “Centro Santa Chiara”.
