Local refusing to let her mission be extinguished after fire engulfs nonprofit
Alice Donoghun, the director of Navco Community Outreach, says she helped open the nonprofit in 2002. She says folks would come by for food, clothing and other items.Mobile Fire-Rescue says the electrical fire engulfed the building at the shopping center on the corner of Navco Road and McVay Drive Wednesday night.
Donoghun has devoted her whole life to helping others, recently moving to the location on Navco Road just over a year ago. “If somebody calls me at 7 o’clock at night, and they said ‘I need help’, I say, ‘do you need it now?’ ‘Okay, wait until the morning’. If not, I come down here, fix them a box or bag, turn the lights on, let them get their clothes and what they need,” she added.“What we feed is mostly for families, she feeds the homeless. So we work together,” said Atlenia Westbrook with Navco Baptist Church.“From the day that I met her, this is what she’s been like,” stated Westbrook.
