Blue Cap has supported people with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967, and a lot of that support walks in through the door with a volunteer, a family or a company. Each way to help below comes with the name of the person to call. Pick the one that fits your week and ring them.
Pantry volunteers work Tuesdays between 9am and 2pm. Sign up with the Director of Adult Services.

Formed in the 1970s as the Parent Association by families who wanted to support activities for their children at Blue Cap. Today it is a large group of parents, siblings, extended families and friends. What it raises goes into a restricted Activity Fund, so people can take part in community activities that match their own interests.

Consider including Blue Cap in your estate plans by becoming a member of the Infinity Society. A gift in a will or estate plan keeps supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Blue Island long after the day it is written.
Speak up for the ways that help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities lead a safe, happy and meaningful life in their community, whatever their ability. Questions about getting involved go to the Development Office at (708) 389-8137 ext. 801 or info@blue-cap.org.
Not sure which fits? Call the Development Office at (708) 389-8137 ext. 801 and say what you have to give: a Tuesday, a team, a skill or a gift. Blue Cap is open Monday to Friday at 2155 Broadway St. You can also contact us or see the special events Blue Cap hosts every year.
