RUSSELL — The Russell Community Impact Award Committee is pleased to announce DeeAnn Matheson as the distinguished recipient of the November 2024 Russell Community Impact Award.
This award recognizes individuals, businesses, or organizations whose exceptional contributions have significantly enriched the fabric of the Russell community.
DeeAnn is a dedicated community servant who spends countless hours helping others. As a board member for the local food pantry, she plays a vital role in ensuring those in need receive support. DeeAnn is also deeply involved in the VFW Auxiliary, Kiwanis, and her church, demonstrating her commitment to serving her community through a variety of avenues. Whether she’s delivering items to those in need, bringing cookies to residents at our local nursing home and assisted living facilities, or volunteering her time at the food pantry, DeeAnn embodies the spirit of selflessness and care.
A lifelong resident of Russell, DeeAnn’s heart is firmly rooted in her community. When she’s not dedicating her time to serving others, she cherishes moments with her family and finds joy in helping them however she can. Her unwavering dedication makes her an invaluable part of the Russell community.
As the winner of the Russell Community Impact Award, DeeAnn will receive a $250 donation to the non-profit of her choice. DeeAnn has chosen the Russell Play Park as the recipient.
