Supermarket Chain Campaign to Support Urban League

ST. LOUIS, MO – In recognition of Black History Month, the supermarket chain Schnucks will kick off a campaign that will support the Urban League.

From February 2nd to the 15th, 100% of roundup customer donations in the St. Louis area will support the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis (St. Louis, MO). These proceeds will specifically support the Save Our Sons program. This program has been tasked to African American men seek livable wage employment.

Roundup campaigns at the chain’s other locations will support the Urban League affiliate in that respective area.

“At Schnucks, we provide careers to more than 13,000 teammates, and one of our community pillars is to help to develop the workforce in our cities and neighborhoods - a goal shared by the Urban League’s through their Save Our Sons program,” said Schnucks chairman and CEO. “By working together with our customers, vendor partners and community partners like the Urban League, we strive to nourish people’s lives and make every community that Schnucks calls home, better.”

“Schnucks is truly a major partner for the Urban League; they continue to put into action their commitment to building the regions they serve,” said Michael P. McMillan, President and CEO of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, said. “Because of the Roundup and the generosity of the Schnucks customers who participate, Save Our Sons is able to place hundreds of African-American men into stable employment so they can take care of their families and contribute to our community.”
