Bilirakis to Host 20th Annual Veterans Resource Fair with Senators Scott and Moody
PASCO COUNTY, - Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) will host his 20th Annual Veterans Resource Fair on Saturday, September 26, 2026. This year’s event will be jointly hosted by U.S. Senators Rick Scott and Ashley Moody. For two decades, this annual Veterans Resource Fair has brought together organizations and agencies from throughout the community to help Veterans and their families connect directly with the benefits, services, and support they have earned. This year’s fair will feature resources related to Veterans claims assistance and education benefits, healthcare, job placement and employment services, housing assistance, social services, and more.
“Serving those who have served our nation is one of my highest priorities, and I’m incredibly proud that we are celebrating the 20th year of bringing this important event directly to our local Veterans and their families,” said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. “Our Veterans have sacrificed so much in defense of our freedoms, and we have a responsibility to ensure they can access the benefits, healthcare, opportunities, and support they have earned. Too often, Veterans simply don’t know about all of the resources available to them or where to turn for help. That’s exactly why we bring these organizations together under one roof - to make it easier for Veterans and their families to get answers, make connections, and access the assistance they deserve. I’m grateful to Senators Scott and Moody for joining me this year as we continue working together to serve those who have served us.”
Senator Rick Scott said, “As a Navy veteran and the son of a World War II veteran, I know firsthand the service and sacrifice our veterans and their families make – and the toll those sacrifices can take long-term. As Florida’s U.S. Senator, it is crucial to me that our federal government stands with them and that every veteran can access the benefits he or she has earned. That starts with ensuring our veterans and their families have the information, resources, and help they need to make the process as easy as possible. That starts with ensuring our veterans and their families have the information, resources, and help they need to make the process as easy as possible, which is why I am grateful for Congressman Gus Bilirakis’ leadership and I am glad to join him and Senator Ashley Moody in hosting the 20th Annual Veterans Resource Fair. I encourage veterans and their families in Florida’s 12th Congressional District to come learn more about your benefits.”
“Our veterans answered the call to serve our nation, and we have a responsibility to stand with them when they return home. I’m happy to cohost Congressman Bilirakis’s 20th Annual Veterans Resource Fairs to help connect those who served with the benefits, resources, and support they’ve earned. I’ll always fight to ensure Florida’s veterans and their families are supported and never forgotten,” said Senator Ashley Moody.
The event is free and open to Veterans and their families. Attendees will have an opportunity to speak directly with participating organizations, ask questions, learn more about available programs, and receive assistance identifying resources that may meet their individual needs. Veterans are encouraged to RSVP by calling 727-232-2921.
