Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize one of my constituents, Ms. Lisa Wright for her tireless service to our community. Lisa has been an invaluable volunteer at the Pregnancy & Family Life Center (PFLC) of Citrus County since 2022, contributing over 1,300 hours of service across multiple roles. Every Monday morning, Lisa uses her own truck to drive to the Food Bank in Homosassa, where she picks up and delivers a pallet of food to stock the Center's pantry. She checks donations for freshness, organizes them, and ensures they are stored properly. In 2025, the Center distributed 83,000 pounds of food to clients. Affectionately known as the ``workhorse'', Lisa's strength, resilience, and work ethic are unmatched. No task is too large--she tackles mountains of donations, food boxes, and diapers with remarkable efficiency. Even after a significant surgery, Lisa quickly returned to volunteer work, demonstrating her deep love and dedication to the Center.

Lisa also plays a key role in client interactions, ensuring that every woman who visits the Center feels seen, valued, and cared for, and that each family receives the food and personal items they need. Together, Judy, Lisa, and Wanda embody the heart of the PFLC mission-- compassion, service, and unwavering support for women and families. Their dedication ensures that every client who walks through the door receives not only essential resources, but also dignity, hope, and encouragement for the future.

Together, with two other exceptional volunteers, Judy and Wanda, Lisa embodies the heart of the PFLC mission--compassion, service, and unwavering support for women and families. Their dedication ensures that every client who walks through the door receives not only essential resources but also dignity, hope, and encouragement for the future. For their enduring dedication, compassionate hearts, and profound impact on their community, I am honored to recognize Ms. Lisa Wright as a 2026 Hero Among Us. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring her unwavering commitment, selfless leadership, and the profound, lasting impact she has made on our community.
