Schnucks customers donate over $110K to support United Way of Greater St. Louis
Schnuck Markets announced that, in total, Schnucks customers donated $110,131 to support United Way of Greater St. Louis as part of the company’s Sept. 20-Oct. 3 Round Up at the Register campaign at all Schnucks store locations in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
One hundred percent of customer round-ups will benefit United Way of Greater St. Louis. All proceeds will contribute to the organization’s campaign to build a strong foundation for the region as they help 1 million people in the community each year throughout their 16-county region in Missouri and Illinois. Proceeds also will support United Way’s 2-1-1 helpline, a free and confidential resource available 24/7 for up to 250 different languages.
“We thank our customers for joining us on our mission to nourish people’s lives and for uniting with us as we lift and strengthen people, families and neighborhoods across the St. Louis area,” said Todd Schnuck, chairman and CEO of Schnucks. “Only by working together can we unite people, resources and funding to help build a strong and equitable community where all can thrive.”

“We want to express our immense gratitude to Schnucks and their customers for this extraordinary display of generosity,” said Michelle Tucker, president and CEO of the United Way of Greater St. Louis. “Your outstanding support will enable us to continue helping local individuals and families navigating through difficult circumstances.”
Schnucks and its teammates have a long history of supporting United Way. In 2022, the company campaign raised more than $2.23 million to support United Way of Greater St. Louis as well as other United Way affiliates in communities that Schnucks serves across the Midwest. (The 2023 company campaign total will be announced next month.) All donations stay in the region in which they are given and benefit the local United Way affiliate.
