LEBANON – State Representative Kevin Schmidt donated his pay raise for the month of October to Lebanon Matthew 25:40 Ministries (LMM), which is the umbrella organization for the Lebanon Food Pantry, in the form of a food donation. Schmidt has donated every month’s pay raise to a different local food pantry or non-profit organization throughout his district since voting against the pay raise for legislators last year.
