Montanans Recognized for Exemplary Community Volunteerism

Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras, and the Montana Commission on Community Service today announced the recipients of the 2022 “ServeMontana Awards”. These awards are presented every year to outstanding community volunteers and organizations for their service to Montana.

Honorees represent the best in positive change through service, volunteerism, innovation, and community leadership. The annual awards ceremony and luncheon will take place on June 24th at the Capitol.

“It is such an honor to celebrate hardworking recipients of the ServeMontana Awards,” said Lt. Governor Kristen Juras. “These Montanans have dedicated their time, skills and lives to serving others, helping strengthen our communities one act of service at a time.”

Florence was with AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP in Roundup for 20 years and donated nearly 4,000 hours of service, 400 of those hours in 2021 alone. She volunteered in the Senior Center Kitchen where she was a cashier and helped with dining room set up. Florence was always the first to volunteer for special events such as selling raffle tickets, the Christmas Stroll, and Halloween Costume Contest to name a few. When asked why she chose to volunteer every day, she would say, “it keeps me young!”

The ServeMontana Awards are sponsored by Montana’s Credit Unions. The Governor’s Office of Community Service expands and promotes national service and volunteerism in Montana and engages citizens in service. To learn more, please visit
