Misericordia Arese

Fraternita di Misericordia Arese is a volunteer organization serving the community of Arese, Italy, since 24 March 1984. Inspired by the longstanding tradition of Italy’s Misericordie and affiliated with the National Confederation of Misericordie, it brings together volunteers to support people facing need and hardship through practical and compassionate assistance.

The organization provides scheduled, non-emergency patient transport and responds to urgent medical emergencies through Italy’s 112 system, with dispatch coordinated by the regional emergency service. Its work also includes healthcare support during civil protection operations and a range of social and community services. Training is an important part of its activity, with courses, seminars, exercises and placements helping volunteers develop their skills.

Misericordia Arese also promotes volunteering, community welfare and collaboration with other nonprofit groups. The organization describes its mission as serving others through generosity and care, and invites people to contribute their time as volunteer drivers, emergency responders, social-service volunteers and civil protection volunteers. Its work is sustained by volunteers and support from the local population.
