Chicago – October 27, 2026 -- Meat snack brand Chomps has signed a national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), committing funds to health and wellness programming that could reach more than 4 million young people a year across 5,500 Clubs.
Chomps will fund nutrition education and support Club staff
As a national partner, Chomps will invest in programming aimed at building lifelong healthy habits. The package also covers nutrition education and resources for Club professionals. Chomps, which describes itself as America's fastest-growing meat snack brand based on SPINS data, did not disclose the size of its financial commitment.
Chomps co-founder and CEO Rashid Ali said that "not every kid has access to the same opportunities," framing the deal as an extension of the company's mission beyond its products.
BGCA cites 80% of Club kids rating healthy eating as important
BGCA President and CEO Jim Clark said 80% of Club kids consider healthy eating important. He added that the organization aims to help more children and teens make choices that support their wellbeing. BGCA's Clubs serve more than 4 million young people through membership and community outreach.
Deal sits within Chomps' People, Planet and Communities strategy
The partnership falls under the Communities pillar of Chomps' impact strategy. It complements existing programs, including the donation of 10.3 million meat sticks in 2025 to communities in need. Chomps labels those snacks Non-UPF Verified.
Employee volunteering starts Nov. 4 in Chicago
Chomps will also commit staff time. Its first volunteer event with a local Club takes place in Chicago on Nov. 4. Because Chomps employees are based across the country, the company plans to extend volunteering to Clubs in their home communities.
