NEW ATHENS — State Rep. Kevin Schmidt, R-Millstadt, is hosting a free shred event and canned food drive from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, July 11, at the Bullpen Parking Lot, 101 N. Van Buren St. in New Athens, and is encouraging constituents to bring nonperishable food items for a local pantry.

Schmidt said the event will offer on-site paper shredding and collection of nonperishable food donations.

According to the announcement, the event is intended to provide a safe, secure and convenient way for people to dispose of personal documents.
