Schnuck Markets is offering customers the opportunity to round up their purchases at the register to support the Urban League through Feb. 17, marking the sixth consecutive year the St. Louis-based grocer has run the Black History Month campaign.
One hundred percent of donations in Schnucks’ home area of St. Louis will support the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, specifically the nonprofit 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.
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 Todd Schnuck, Schnucks chairman and CEO and past ULSTL chairman of the board.
“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.”
The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis is a social service and civil rights organization that works to empower communities and change lives through programs in economic opportunity, community empowerment, education excellence, civil rights and advocacy.
“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.”
