ST. LOUIS, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advantage Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: ADV) announced today it will provide support to The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis following the recent tornadoes that caused widespread destruction in the region, including significant damage to the League’s headquarters.
In alignment with its commitment to build stronger, more resilient communities, Advantage will donate $25,000 to the Urban League’s emergency relief efforts and is mobilizing a team of employees to help with on-the-ground cleanup and recovery efforts.
“Our hearts are with the entire St. Louis community, and especially with our partners at the Urban League. Despite suffering their own major losses, they’re once again stepping up to serve their neighbors in need,” said Advantage Solutions CEO Dave Peacock. “In times of crisis, we believe businesses must act with urgency and compassion. That’s why we’re expanding our support and calling on others to do the same.”
In addition to the community at large, Advantage is committed to supporting its own teammates impacted by the disaster. Eligible teammates can apply for grants through the company’s Associate Support Fund, which provides financial assistance for those affected by natural disasters and other unexpected hardships. Additionally, all teammates have access to the Employee Assistance Program, which offers 24/7 support from trained advocates who can help assess needs, develop solutions, and connect individuals to valuable resources.
Advantage’s support of the Urban League builds on a multi-year partnership that includes its Save Our Sisters Fund, which provides holistic wraparound services — including employment, education, rental, mortgage and utility assistance — for women from all walks of life to help them reach their full potential.
