  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Mrs. 
Eguonor Onofeghara-Omoko, a devoted wife, mother, and community leader 
whose life of service and faith has uplifted countless individuals 
across Contra Costa County. Together with her husband, she has raised 
six children, embodying the values of family, faith, and commitment 
that strengthen our communities. Guided by her Christian faith, Mrs. 
Onofeghara-Omoko serves as a Ministry Team Leader at Victory Place 
International Ministries, where she provides spiritual guidance and 
leadership to her congregation. As Volunteer Supervisor for the 
ministry's community outreach, she helps coordinate efforts to feed 
more than 500 people every week, ensuring that those facing hardship 
find nourishment, dignity and hope. Her compassion extends far beyond 
the walls of her church. For the past three years, she has volunteered 
with Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa, continuing her mission to serve 
the hungry and vulnerable. For more than 15 years, she has also served 
as a school chaperone, investing time and energy in the well-being and 
growth of young students. Her dedication stands as an inspiration to 
all who know her. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
commending Mrs. Eguonor Onofeghara-Omoko for her extraordinary 
contributions to her family, her church, and her community. Her legacy 
of faith-driven service reminds us that true leadership begins with a 
heart to serve. On behalf of the people of California's 8th 
Congressional District, I am honored to recognize Mrs. Eguonor 
Onofeghara-Omoko for her outstanding devotion to service and her 
enduring impact on the lives of others.
