The move adds Chick-fil-A to a growing list of corporate sponsors supporting events, education, and service projects leading up to the semiquincentennial. America250 aims to engage all 350 million Americans in the milestone celebration of the nation’s founding.
Chick-fil-A’s involvement focuses on volunteer service through America Gives. The company’s owner-operators and team members will participate in community service initiatives across the country as part of the countdown to the 250th anniversary.
America Gives, the volunteer initiative Chick-fil-A is supporting, challenges businesses, nonprofits, schools, and individuals to log service hours throughout 2026.
