Marco Tozzi

On behalf of the Red Cross of Milan, Marco Tozzi is responsible for the assistance service to the homeless. He coordinates the volunteers and he is the link between the organisation, the institutions and the beneficiaries. 

Volunteer since 1983, during the day he works as an electronic engineer for a private company. Then, in the evening he spends his time for assistance to those who live in the streets.

In 2001, he found officially the service for the Cross of Milan and organised the first specific teams of volunteers focused on the treatment and qualified assistance of homeless persons. Thank his work over the years, nowadays the Italian Red Cross is among the major actor involved in the assistance to the homeless in the Milan Area. 

Marco coordinates the service that counts almost 20 different mobile units every week. These units bring food and kits for personal hygiene, as well as blankets and sleeping bags that are vital items during winter.  

Furthermore, he works every day with doctors and psychologists of the special units of the Red Cross of Milan, to provide medical treatments and more specialised assistance to the homeless people.
