Living our values beyond our walls
Spirit of helping
BCBSRI employees are known for their volunteer efforts helping fellow Rhode Islanders. Our colleagues go well beyond the 12 hours of paid volunteer time that the company gives each employee.
A highlight of the year is Blue across Rhode Island, a company-wide day of service when we partner with local organizations to swing hammers, roll paint, pack supplies, and support Rhode Islanders in many other ways.
2025 marked the 14th year of Blue across Rhode Island.
On our 14th annual Blue across Rhode Island, more than 500 BCBSRI employees volunteered more than 3,000 hours to help our neighbors.
