Rep. Schmidt Donates Pay Raise to Mascoutah Food Pantry

April 23, 2024

State Representative Kevin Schmidt has pledged to donate the legislative pay raise he voted against to different local community outreach efforts in his community. This month, he has chosen the Mascoutah Food Pantry.

He delivered the food and released the following statement: "Today I made my monthly food donation to the Mascoutah Food pantry. I donate the amount of my salary increase in the form of food to different local food pantries. I voted no for that salary increase, so I put my money where my mouth is."

Food and basic necessities are a fundamental need for everyone in our community. Whether you're facing temporary hardship or ongoing challenges, there are resources available to help.
