FREEBURG - State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) has pledged to donate the legislative pay raise he voted against to different local organizations throughout his district to help families in need. This month he donated laundry detergent to the Freeburg Food and Clothing Bank.

“Our team was more than happy to help the Freeburg Food and Clothing Bank stock-up on laundry detergent,” said Schmidt. "Small acts of kindness can really make a difference for families and when people come together in the community to help the less fortunate, it makes a strong statement.”
