ST.

Customers donated $97,364, and Schnucks provided an additional $14,636.Â
The campaign ran Wednesday, February 5 - Tuesday, February 18, and Schnucks customers had the option at checkout to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar with 100 percent of donations in the St. Louis area supporting the non-profit organization’s Save Our Sons and Save Our Sisters programs. Round ups at Schnucks stores in other markets support the Urban League chapter in each respective area or the National Urban League.
“The work of the Urban League aligns perfectly with our community pillar of workforce development as well as our overall mission to nourish people’s lives, and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “I acknowledge the spirit of our store checkers. It’s because of them and the generosity of our customers that we are able to announce this gift today.”

McMillan expressed gratitude for the continued support. “These funds will directly impact our Save Our Sons and Save Our Sisters programs, helping individuals gain the skills, training, and support they need to achieve economic independence,” he said. “We are deeply thankful to Schnucks, their dedicated teammates and the generous customers who make this campaign a success year after year. This partnership exemplifies the power of community coming together to create real opportunities for those who need them most.”
