Instacart partners with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to combat food insecurity.
With a shared belief that every young person deserves access to healthy, nutritious meals every day, Instacart partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to combat food insecurity in communities across the U.S.
Each summer, the rate of childhood food insecurity increases as millions of youth miss meals they would otherwise have access to at school. In 2021, Instacart partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America on a summer meals program that provided support for our mission and Instacart grocery credits to five local Boys & Girls Clubs in Los Angeles, Chicago, North Alabama, Greater St. Louis, and Southeastern Michigan. With Instacart’s support, Boys & Girls Clubs have been able to fight summer childhood hunger and provide snacks, meals and groceries to more than 4,000 youth and their families.

Through partnering with Samsung, we expanded access to the DIY STEM program and developed the Climate Superstars Challenge. The DIY STEM program serves as the entry-point for all members' STEM learning experience at Clubs and provides youth exposure to STEM through five modules: Energy and Electricity, Engineering Design, Food Chemistry, Aeronautics and the Science of Sports: Football. Climate Superstars aims to encourage youth to raise awareness about climate change and motivate them to take actions that help protect the environment.
Samsung's partnership enables interactive, hands-on learning while providing students with new perspectives on STEM careers and access to the latest technology. In addition, our partnership with Samsung goes beyond our programs and includes cause marketing initiatives that help promote awareness and drive donations for the organization. Through exclusive access to unique experiences such as the Las Vegas Galaxy Studio pop-up with singer Kelly Rowland and music producer and artist DJ Marshmello and a Winter Wonderland video production featuring YouTube star Casey Neistat, Samsung helps expand their understanding of STEM and encourages them to be the next generation of creators and innovators.
Samsung puts cutting edge technologies in the hands of underserved youth at Clubs across the country who otherwise wouldn't have access. Through state-of-the-art Tween Tech Centers outfitted with the latest technologies, including laptops, tablets, and more, Samsung has helped modernize the learning spaces at Boys & Girls Clubs.
