The check was in the amount of $500.00 for the purchase of a new stove. The Community Pantry has volunteers that spend countless hours at the center and at the end of the day they regularly offer a plate of food to their volunteers. The Los Fresnos Community Food Pantry has been operating since October of 1998 and throughout the years has helped many families in need. Back in June the community pantry also received a vehicle donation from the City of Los Fresnos which they were very grateful to have. With that donation, they are now able to transport food and other donations to families. During October&#8217;s distribution, some of the volunteers dressed up and made it fun as always and had a successful and fun October distribution. If you want more information on the pantry, they are located at 810 W. Ocean Blvd, Ste. G and accept food and monetary donations. Their phone number is (956) 203-4959.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/losfresnosnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/community.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Los Fresnos Community Pantry, que es una organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro que apoya con alimentos a familias de bajos ingresos, recibi\u00f3 recientemente una generosa donaci\u00f3n de la Junior League de Brownsville.
