Jewel-Osco and The Salvation Army are teaming up for a special donation event throughout February. Customers at Jewel-Osco locations can make small donations of $1, $3, or $5 at checkout, with the funds going directly to The Salvation Army to provide food, shelter, and other essential services to individuals and families in the local community who are struggling.

Why it matters

The Salvation Army plays a vital role in supporting those facing hardship, especially as many families continue to grapple with the economic impacts of the pandemic. This donation drive will help ensure The Salvation Army can continue its work of providing meals, shelter, and life-changing programs to those in need.

The details

Last year, The Salvation Army in Chicago served over 250,000 meals, provided more than 50,000 nights of shelter, and offered support through initiatives like the Pathway of Hope program, which helps families break the cycle of poverty. The February donation event at Jewel-Osco locations will directly fund these critical services in local communities.

  • The donation event runs through the end of February 2026.
