One of the best things about working at Independence Blue Cross is the multitude of opportunities we have to give back to our community as volunteers. Through our Blue Crew Corporate Volunteer Program — one of the most respected volunteer programs in the Philadelphia region — associates, their families, and retirees participate in diverse service projects that support more than 70 non-profit organizations and events.
No matter what the need is or the size of the project or event, Blue Crew volunteers are ready to share their time and talents nearly every day of the week. Just a few recent examples of the Blue Crew’s work in the community include:
- Preparing a home-cooked meal for families staying at Philadelphia’s Ronald McDonald House while their children receive treatment at area hospitals
- Renovating seven homes to give low-income families a safe, healthy place to live as part of Rebuilding Together® Philadelphia
- Cheering on participants at the AIDS Walk/Run Philly 5K and providing water and course support
- Coordinating donations for The Baby Bureau to provide mothers in need with supplies to help them care for their babies
It all adds up to make our region a better place to live and work — in 2014 alone, 2,140 Blue Crew volunteers donated more than 6,498 hours of community service by supporting 81 projects, and hosted 10 collection drives.
