ST.

Customers donated $166,677, and Schnucks added an additional $15,000.

“Thanks to the generous round ups from our customers, many in our communities will be able to count on The Salvation Army for the help they need - not just during the holidays but throughout the year,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “I salute the Schnucks teammates at each store whose commitment to our Round Up campaigns, and the non-profit organizations they support, truly exemplifies our company’s mission to nourish people’s lives.”

All funds raised during campaign stay in the community in which they were donated to support local programs and services, including helping to provide food, shelter, support for veterans, substance abuse treatment and emergency disaster services throughout the year. 

"We are so grateful for the support of Schnucks and the many customers who gave with joy this holiday season,” said Major Adam Moore, General Secretary and Greater St. Louis Area Commander at The Salvation Army. “I am humbled by the generosity of the communities in which we serve. I often say that our simple mission is to save the world, but we can’t do it alone. Thank you for making a difference in your community.”

The funds donated through the Round Up were in addition to those donated by Schnucks customers who gave to The Salvation Army’s red kettles that were located at all Schnucks stores. At The Salvation Army nationally, 87 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to services.
