Schnucks Launches Annual “Round Up at the Register” to Benefit the Urban League
The campaign runs February 5 - 18 as part of Black History Month
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5, 2025 - For the fifth consecutive year, as part of Black History Month in February, Schnuck Markets, Inc. will offer customers the opportunity to “Round Up at the Register” to support the Urban League.
Starting today and continuing through Tuesday, Feb. 18, 100% of donations in the grocer’s home area of St. Louis will support the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis (ULSTL) - specifically the non-profit organization’s Save Our Sons and Save Our Sisters programs. Round ups in Schnucks stores in other markets will support the Urban League chapter in each respective community. In 2024, Schnucks and its customers donated $125,000 to the Urban League as part of the round up campaign.
Those customers who use self-checkouts and wish to donate may choose a $1, $3 or $5 “Scan and Give” option. Schnucks Rewards members also have the opportunity to donate their Rewards Points to the Urban League as part of the Donate Your Rewards program.
“We’re proud of our decades-long partnership with the Urban League and salute them for the great work they continue to do in our communities,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “The Save Our Sons and Save Our Sisters initiatives align perfectly with our company’s community pillar of workforce development as well as our overall mission to nourish people’s lives.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Schnucks and their customers for their unwavering support of the Urban League’s mission,” said Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis President and CEO Michael P. McMillan. “The funds raised through this campaign help us empower men and women in our community to achieve economic stability and success through the life-changing work of our Save Our Sons and Save Our Sisters programs.”
