Volunteers included Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay, Mayor Lyda Krewson, Aldermanic President Lewis Reed, St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green, Michael P. McMillan President & Chief Executive Officer of Urban League St. Louis, the National Guard and many others who helped distribute over $100,000 worth of food and toiletries.

There were turkeys, 3 types of greens, sweet potatoes, celery, apples, bananas, cabbage, onions, lunch meat, bread, yogurt, non-perishables, eggs, milk, masks, gloves, light bulbs and a host of other items that were given away.

The video above show the volunteers working hard and fast to keep the line of cars moving cutting down on the wait time for each car to get loaded.

Walmart’s Grocery Pickup option on their website is awesome and easy to use. After ordering you will get an email in a day or two when your groceries will be ready within an hour window. You will get another email when your order is ready to be picked up.

You will then go to the pickup area and park inline with one of the many orange signs that are numbered. An Associate will get with you asap and load the groceries in you trunk.

There is no touching or signing involved making it a safe option during the Covid-19 outbreak for customers and Associates.

Shopping at Schnucks Creve Coeur during COVID-19 between the hours of 6 AM and 7 AM for shoppers 60 years and older and for people with health ongoing conditions was a pleasant experience.

There was plenty of food with the exception for bread and toilet paper which gets restocked daily. The people were calm and actually talking a little bit more today with each other.

There was only one register open and two self-checkout Express Lines for 12 items or under. The Express Line was empty and the one checkout was backed up a bit with a wait time of around 12 minutes or so.

Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice that has helped keep us all in Creve Coeur safe and alive. Like heroes ruining towards the danger, your bravery has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.

From Creve Coeur to all the workers at Schnucks
