                      Wednesday, October 11, 2023

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions of Elizabeth Hoffman as she is honored as one of 
California's 8th Congressional District's Women of the Year.
  Elizabeth is the Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Solano 
County, an organization that provides home rehabilitation services and 
hosts community volunteer workdays. Her tireless work has improved the 
quality of life for low-income families, veterans, and disabled 
individuals in our district. She coordinates thousands of volunteers 
who help build low-income housing and community centers. This year, she 
has led home improvement efforts to help low-income communities and 
veterans' widows. She helped distribute over 2,000 Disaster Safe at 
Home Kits to low-income veterans, seniors, and disabled households. 
Elizabeth partnered with local government and community volunteers to 
install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, assemble raised garden 
beds, and distribute more than 950,000 pounds of food. Her dedication 
to helping low-income individuals, veterans, seniors, and disabled 
residents throughout Solano County is unparalleled.
  On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, 
it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Elizabeth Hoffman for her 
positive contributions to our community.
