Blue Crew volunteer program

As the Philadelphia region’s hometown health insurer, Independence Blue Cross is proud to give back through our corporate volunteer program, The Blue Crew, and our associate Giving Program, Blue Crew Gives. Since the Blue Crew’s launch in 2001, associates have volunteered hundreds of thousands of hours to numerous nonprofits in the region.

Our associates are proud to live our company’s mission to enhance the health and wellbeing of our communities through a variety of volunteer activities. From serving and preparing meals for our neighbors, to packing hygiene and disaster relief kits, to supporting green space clean-up efforts, the Blue Crew is there for its community.

But we don’t stop there. Through Blue Crew Gives, our associates can donate to their favorite nonprofit organization and receive a matching corporate gift. In 2023, the combined giving of associates and the company was more than $1M.

Our volunteer activities are substantial: In 2023, nearly 1,600 Blue Crew volunteers participated in more than 180 projects, contributing 6,200 hours to nonprofits organizations throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. Associate volunteers also recorded another 5,000 hours outside the Blue Crew program.
