Rep. Kevin Schmidt Donates His August Pay Raise To Jeremiah's Food Pantry

EAST ST. LOUIS – State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) continues to donate his legislative pay raise to local organizations across his district. He voted against politician pay raises and chose to help less fortunate families in our community. This month, he donated soap, paper towels, and toilet paper to Jeremiah's Food Pantry in East St. Louis.

“Stronger communities are built when we come together to help families in need,” said Schmidt. “I’m proud to work with local food pantries across my district and appreciate the volunteer work by members of our community. Lending a helping hand can make a difference in so many lives.”

Jeremiah's Food Pantry is located at 538 S. 35th St. in East St. Louis, IL and is open to the public for anyone who wants to donate non-perishable food items.
