Schnucks Once Again Welcomes The Salvation Army to All Stores for the 2026 Holiday Season

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11, 2026 - Schnuck Markets, Inc. is continuing its decades-long partnership with The Salvation Army during the upcoming holiday season. Starting today and continuing through Wednesday, Nov. 25, Schnucks customers have the option to support to The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign simply by:

• Traditional Checkout - Customers may round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar.
• Self-Checkout - Customers using self-checkouts who wish to donate may choose a $1, $3 or $5 “Scan and Give” option.
• Donate Your Rewards - Schnucks Rewards members also have the opportunity to donate their rewards points to The Salvation Army as part of the Donate Your Rewards program.

One hundred percent of the round-up donations will support The Salvation Army’s work directly in the communities in which they are donated. In 2025, Schnucks and its customers donated more than $180,000 to The Salvation Army as part of the round up campaign.

At the conclusion of the Round Up, Schnucks will welcome back The Salvation Army’s bell ringers and their iconic red kettles. Starting Friday, Nov. 27, and continuing through Thursday, Dec. 24, bell ringers will return to all Schnucks stores, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.

“Over the years, The Salvation Army has become a welcomed mainstay at Schnucks stores during the holidays - both at our checkouts and our entrances,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “Supporting the efforts of The Salvation Army is directly aligned with our company’s mission to nourish people’s lives, and together with our customers, we all will work to meet the needs of our communities.”

“This is the season for giving, and we are so grateful to Schnucks for their lasting impact on the communities we serve throughout the region,” said Major Todd Thielke, Greater St. Louis Area Associate Commander at The Salvation Army. “When you Round Up at the Register in support of The Salvation Army, you help thousands of neighbors in need. All of the funds raised stay local and support critical social services such as food, housing, rent and utility assistance and more – putting people on a pathway of hope.”
