CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Chomps, America's fastest-growing meat snack brand,¹ announced a new national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a national youth development organization that provides safe, supportive environments for young people, to expand access to resources and programs that help them build skills, confidence and more nutritious eating habits.

As a national partner, Chomps will invest in health and wellness programming that helps young people build lifelong healthy habits, with the potential to impact more than 4 million young people annually across Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide while supporting the Club professionals who bring these experiences to life. The partnership will also include nutrition education, resources for Club professionals and opportunities for Chomps employees to engage with Clubs in their local communities.

"When we started Chomps, we saw an opportunity to challenge what was possible in a category that had overlooked a lot of consumers. That same thinking carries over into how we want to make a difference beyond our products," said Rashid Ali, co-founder and CEO of Chomps. "Every kid has potential, but not every kid has access to the same opportunities. Boys & Girls Clubs of America does incredible work helping close that gap by giving kids the support, confidence and skills they need to succeed. We're proud to be part of that effort and help create more opportunities for kids across the country."

The partnership builds on Chomps' purpose to make lives fuller, one better bite at a time, and its People, Planet and Communities impact strategy. Through its Communities pillar, Chomps is focused on expanding access and supporting organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of America that help strengthen communities across the country. This partnership complements a broader portfolio of impact programs that are already delivering measurable outcomes for communities, such as the donation of 10.3 million meat sticks in 2025 to support communities in need with nutritionally valuable, Non-UPF Verified snacks.

"Young people deserve opportunities to grow into healthy, confident and successful adults," said Jim Clark, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of America. "Every day, we see how the right resources, positive relationships and meaningful experiences can make a lasting difference. It's encouraging that 80% of Club kids say healthy eating is important to them, and we're committed to helping more kids and teens make choices that support their wellbeing and future success. We're grateful to partner with Chomps to expand opportunities for young people to lead healthier lives and build great futures."

Chomps' commitment will extend beyond its financial investment through employee engagement and volunteerism opportunities, beginning on November 4 with a volunteer event in Chicago. With Chomps employees based across the country, the partnership will unlock opportunities for Chomps team members to get involved in different Boys & Girls Clubs in their local communities, expanding the impact of the partnership one Club at a time.
