Schnucks raises $150K for United Way
Schnuck Markets’ customers donated $156,955 to support the United Way as part of the company’s 'Round Up' at the register campaign, which ran from Oct. 6 to 19 at all store locations.
One hundred percent of donations will benefit the United Way and will help the organization’s mission to mobilize the caring power of communities to help people live their best possible lives. All donations stay in the region in which they are given and will benefit the local United Way chapter.

“We were excited to expand our longstanding partnership with the United Way this year through our Round Up at the Register program,” Schnuck said. “We thank our generous customers for joining our effort to Nourish People’s Lives and for providing support to their local United Way chapter simply by rounding up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar.”
Schnucks chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck is serving as the 2021 co-chair of the United Way of Great St. Louis’ annual community campaign.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Schnucks team and the community for supporting United Way through the Round Up at the Register program,” said Michelle Tucker, president and CEO of United Way of Greater St. Louis. “United Way supports a network of more than 160 local nonprofits so the community’s outpouring of generosity and the continued commitment of Schnucks leadership is truly making a difference for our neighbors.”
