Urban League “Round Up at the Register” Returns to Schnucks
The campaign runs February 4 - 17 with 100% of donations supporting the non-profit organization
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4, 2026 - For the sixth 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. 17, 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 2025, Schnucks customers and the company donated $112,000 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.
“For more than 50 years, Schnucks has worked with the Urban League by supporting the great work they do making our communities stronger by lifting, empowering and providing residents the tools they need to make a better tomorrow,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO and past ULSTL Chairman of the Board, Todd Schnuck. “In addition to nourishing people’s lives, Schnucks is committed to helping develop the workforce in the cities and neighborhoods we serve - a goal shared by the Urban League through their Save Our Sons/Sisters programs.”
“Partnerships like this one with Schnucks make a real, tangible difference for families across our region,” said Michael P. McMillan, President and CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis. “When customers choose to round up at the register, they are directly investing in the futures of young men and women through our Save Our Sons and Save Our Sisters programs. We are deeply grateful to Schnucks and its customers for their continued commitment to empowering communities, strengthening our workforce, and creating pathways to opportunity.”
