Washington, D.C. — April 29, 2026 — America250, the national nonpartisan organization leading the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, today announced a partnership with Chick-fil-A, recognizing the company’s longstanding commitment to serving communities, fostering the entrepreneurial spirit, and supporting economic opportunity across the United States.
As part of the partnership, Chick-fil-A will support America Gives, by engaging its network of local Owner-Operators, their Team Members and community partners in service initiatives tied to the largest coordinated volunteer effort in U.S. history.

Together, we will inspire Americans to mark this historic milestone through service with a shared sense of purpose.”
The partnership comes at a meaningful moment for Chick-fil-A, which is celebrating 80 years in business.
Chick-fil-A has become one of the country’s most recognized brands, with its restaurants built to create positive impact in the communities in which it operates. Through initiatives focused on community hunger, education, and disaster response, Chick-fil-A has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to giving back and advancing opportunity for others.
“Chick-fil-A is honored to support America250 and celebrate our nation’s history alongside generous organizations that have helped so many achieve their vision of the American Dream,” said Andrew T. Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A, Inc. “Every day our Chick-fil-A local Owner-Operators and their Restaurant Team Members demonstrate care in meaningful ways in the communities they serve. Their examples inspire me, and I hope they inspire others to serve and make a positive impact in their neighborhoods and the places they call home.”
