Whataburger is partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs in 19 cities to host company volunteer events, kicking off the upcoming school year with its first-annual Whataburger Feeding Student Success Back-to-School Program. The company’s latest volunteer initiative supporting students is in honor of the company’s 72nd anniversary.
A series of volunteer events from Friday, July 29 to Monday, August 22 were part of the Whataburger Feeding Student Success Back-to-School Program. Whataburger employees, known as Family Members, delivered Whataburger-branded school supplies, games and food to students. Additionally, each club received a $2,000 monetary donation to support youth educational opportunities. A total of $170,000, including monetary donations and in-kind gifts, were donated to 20 clubs across nine states.
