Blue Cares and the San Antonio Police Officer’s Association are pleased to announce a one-time funding opportunity available to San Antonio-based non-profits that have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Blue Cares takes pride in assisting and providing services to underprivileged and at-risk children and their families throughout San Antonio year-round. Each year, that number of children and families grows, which makes Blue Cares programs that more essential.

This year, the Blue Cares Scholarship board awarded 24 students with scholarship money to attend the colleges of their choice.

A sobering report from the Center for Public Priorities reminds us all here at Blue Cares why programs like ours are so important.

Project Caring for Juniors (Project CJ) is a food assistance program that benefits students from low-income families who attend Title One elementary schools in San Antonio. The goal of Project CJ is to help ensure that children have healthy snacks and enough food options during their time away from school, including weekends.

You can help make a child happy by donating toys or money to Blue Cares. Blue Cares accepts new, unused toy donations throughout the year. These toys go to under-privileged children from low-income families in San Antonio who find it difficult to provide gifts for their kids during the holiday season.
