  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Mr. Yuri 
Hreshchyshyn, a friend and a dedicated volunteer and resident of 
Buffalo, New York. Yuri's tireless service is recognized today by None 
Like You/ We Care Outreach and the City of Buffalo.
  Yuri is a South Buffalo resident who has been a committeeman for the 
Erie County Democratic Committee, a member of the Buffalo Cooperative 
Federal Credit Union and the Buffalo Central Terminal, and has worked 
for the Erie County Department of Social Services.
  Mr. Hreshchyshyn has worked with multiple community partners 
including None Like You/ We Care Outreach, Buffalo State College, the 
University at Buffalo and Canisius College. He worked on many projects 
in the West Side and East Side communities planting trees, helping to 
build community gardens and cleaning city lots. Yuri has given his time 
and talents to the community youth by teaching them how to cut grass 
and trim trees and bushes. Yuri has dedicated much of his time to 
maintain the building and grounds of the Buffalo Central Terminal. 
During the holiday season, Yuri has been a tremendous help with the 
Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas giveaway for over 12 years.
  Mr. Speaker, I honor Mr. Yuri Hreshchyshyn and his admirable 
dedication to the City of Buffalo and the aesthetics of our community. 
Yuri's commitment to his City is exceptional, and he is most deserving 
of this recognition by None Like You/We Care and the City of Buffalo.
