David Duke has led the mission of Wiregrass 2-1-1 since the beginning. After nearly three decades in the social services arena, Duke is retiring.
DOTHAN, Ala. - Wiregrass 2-1-1 is a nonprofit that works to collaborate, inform and connect people in need to resources available for assistance throughout the area. This nonprofit has been on this mission for over 15 years.
Duke’s time of service was meant to be. He overcame trials and tribulations to help others do the same. “She began to I think fuel the fire for me to be able to do what I can to help others because just a little bit of help can go such a long way and can be so lasting for someone,” Duke said.“I made it and I worked through it and I did that because there were people around me that cared enough about me genuinely that helped me and showed me the way,” Duke said.
Over the years Duke pushed Wiregrass 2-1-1 to reach around 900 different partnerships, while always having the communities’ best interest at heart.
