Schnucks to support Salvation Army’s holiday drive with in-store campaign
Schnuck Markets is continuing its decades-long holiday tradition of partnering with The Salvation Army during the holiday season.
From Nov. 10 to 24, Schnucks customers can donate to The Salvation Army by choosing to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. One-hundred percent of donations collected will support The Salvation Army in the community in which they are donated.
In addition, Schnucks Rewards members also have the opportunity to donate their rewards points to The Salvation as part of the Donate Your Rewards program.

The retailer will offer customers the option to donate at all 111 stores across the four Midwest states where it operates.
At the conclusion of the donation campaign, the retailer will host The Salvation Army’s bell ringers and their iconic red kettles at stores with a celebratory kickoff event at Schnucks Twin Oaks, Mo. location on Nov. 24 from 3 to 5 p.m.
Then, from Nov. 26 to Dec. 24, the bell ringers will be at all Schnucks stores from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

“Our company and my family have a long history of supporting The Salvation Army, and we’re honored to partner with them once again this year as part of our commitment to Nourish People’s Lives,” said Schnucks chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “We know the need in our communities is great, and because of the support from our generous customers both at the register and at the entrances to our stores, The Salvation Army will be able to deliver help to those who need it.”
In addition to the Round Up at the Register and bell ringers at all store locations, Schnucks is a proud sponsor of this year’s The Salvation Army Midland Division’s Tree of Lights Campaign. The Salvation Army uses funds raised during the Tree of Lights campaign to provide assistance to the most vulnerable citizens, as the organization helps provide food, utility payments and emergency rent and mortgage payments throughout the year.
“The relationship Schnucks has with the people in the communities where they are located is amazing to experience. Schnucks teammates and their customers make it possible for The Salvation Army to help thousands of families who are struggling during this holiday season,” said Lt. Colonel Divisional Commander Bob Webster of the Salvation Army. “Thank you to Schnucks for your continued help and support as Hope Marches On!”
