Cameron County residents in need of warm clothing can find coats, socks and other donated items at the El Centro Cultural in Cameron Park.
Commissioner Alex Dominguez launched the coat drive this week in response to freezing weather over New Year’s Day. Warming temperatures don’t eliminate residents’ need for warm clothing just yet, he said, particularly in low-income areas like Cameron Park.
“If our neighbors are willing to donate, I’m sure (residents) will be willing to take what they have to keep their kids warm,” he said, adding the donations are open to anyone in the Brownsville area.
Center Director Martha Cramer said about 60 families have stopped by the center for coats, socks and knitted hats. Coats for children and teens are the most in-demand, she added, and center will distribute items as long as donations are brought in.
Planchado Express #2 will dry clean coats at a discounted rate of $4 for anyone who intends to donate to the drive, Precinct 2 Administrative Assistant Zeke Silva said. The store is located at 216 Paredes Line Road, Suite 8, and customers must tell the staff the items are for Dominguez’s coat drive to get the discount.

Thank you Alex Dominguez for your commitment to community service and to the people of Cameron County. Alex will surely have my vote for State Representative.
Publicity stunt! I'm voting for Rene!!!!
Good job Alex. It's good to see youngems being proactive!
Then your supporting a crack head. Good job... January 6, 2018 at 2:39 p.m.
Not voting for either. Leaving it blank.
Then you are supporting a person who considers himself to be above the law. Remember the times he has crashed his car into another car while DRUNK in Brownsville? The other person could of been killed. At the time then city commissioner Melissa Zamora (now Melissa Landin) went to scene of the accident and ordered the police officers not to have Rene Oliveira’s name on the report, but rather use one of his office stuff ladies. And so was done to protect this DRUNK pos.
Brownsville is sick and tired of this type of assholes, regardless of party affiliation.
As for my family and I, we will vote for Alex Dominguez. Period!
Are the supports of ALEX (anglo name) illiterate.
Understanding how to use YOUR and YOU'RE: Your is the second person possessive adjective, used to describe something as belonging to you. Your is always followed by a noun or gerund. You're is the contraction of "you are" and is often followed by the present participle (verb form ending in -ing).
Better learn to write in Spanish your English is second grade.
Traditional grammar uses the term gerund for the -ing form of a verb when it is used as a noun (for example, the verb reading in the sentence "I enjoy reading.").
Just in case you don't know what gerund means.
Trying to impress when YOU'RE a moron will get you nowhere.
I never recall maricon rene ever doing this, as a matter of fact he has never done anything to help this community. Yet he spends thousands of tax dollars with his friends in bars.
