Dell Marie Wergeland, M.S.M.
Victoria, British Columbia
Dell Marie Wergeland helped establish Compassionate Resource Warehouse to help marginalized communities around the world. The organization receives and sorts donations of both new and lightly used medical, educational and household supplies and equipment, ensuring that each item is of value and meets local needs. As president, she has coordinated the logistics involved in sorting and packing 500 shipping containers (and counting) for distribution, and has expanded the operation to include more than 100 community volunteers across Canada.
