Accu Date Integrated MarketingChristmas Diaper Drive for DDB 1-239-425 4400
5220 Summerlin Commons Blvd. Ft. Myers, Fl. 33907
AccuData really did rise to the occasion in diaper drives. Without even letting us know that they were doing a drive, on their own they chose us to help. Several thousands of diapers and wipes were given to help families this Christmas. You made a HUGE difference in several families.
Thank you

News
Destiny Diaper Bank will have 5 diaper banks here in Lee County
I know that you can barely believe it, but the new year is here and we are about to go into February.
What is in store for Destiny Diaper Bank? The plans are happening. In January, we opened 5 diaper banks in Lee County. Cape Coral has already been up and running serving most of Lee County for over 2 years. Lehigh Acres, 205 Joel Blvd. has been running for around a year, and now San Carlos Park, Ft. Myers, and N. Ft. Myers will be added to the list of distribution sites to better help those in need of diapers.
We will function the same as we do for the Lehigh Acres residents. Everyone that need diapers will call the central administrative office in Cape Coral, 239-549-2130, giving us your name and the diaper size that you need. We will set aside diapers in the size that you need with your name on them. On the day with your diaper location site, you will pick them up at the appointed time which is 2:00 for all sites except Cape Coral. Those hours are from 9-12 M-F.
Those that need diapers for infants/toddlers must show :
- local address that is in the location of the diaper bank they are receiving diapers at (Cape Coral location will now serve only Cape Coral residents)
- photo ID
- Income verification such as WIC
- Birth Certificate of children that are receiving diapers or some other verification of infants/children
Those that need adult diapers must show
- Local address that is in the location of the diaper bank they are receiving diapers st
- Photo ID
- Income verification such as Medicaid
- Verification of relationship to those that you are picking up diaper for
If you need help, who do you call? A mom!!! The moms have come to help. Most of the moms that come for diaper needs are paying it forward. They started bringing formula that is no longer needed, (make sure that the date has not expired), their gently used clothes, strollers, toys, open packages of diapers, cribs, and swings that their babies no longer need. Thanks moms. We can't do it without you.
Warehouse Space just donated for our diapers
We just received warehouse space off Metro Pkwy. Ft. Myers, Fl. There will be enough space for around 500,000 diapers. Lee County, we need to step up the pace and get these diapers to those that need them. As Destiny Diaper Bank is becoming known throughout the area, more and more families in need are finding us. I have some families that need up to 600 adult diapers a month. These diapers fly off the shelves.
Mikey, who is 6 is bi-polar. Because of his violence, his mom has had to give two of her children to her sister to raise. Each month his mom depends on us to deliver to her over 600 diapers. Part of these diapers go to his school for his use there and the rest are needed at home. She also needs adult wipes, which we have not had for over 3 months. Without our help, she has no other resources for help with diapers for her son.
We do not receive money from the government or state for what we do. We don't even have anyone to help us with grants. Most of our finances are paid out of our own pocket. So, we are committed to help these families. Can you help us.
I know that there are a lot of food drives for the hungry. These are very important to help supplement food stamps and food banks for those in need, but those that need diapers do not receive help from Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, or WIC. Most food banks do not carry diapers and if they do, they do not carry all of the sizes that are needed and do not give the proper sizes to those in need.
Just the other day a mom walked in that had been referred to us by a local food distribution site. She said that in the bag of food was a package of diapers. The volunteer was put out because she said that she could not use the size #4 diapers that was in her package of food donation. The volunteer said, "I thought you said that you needed diapers!." The mom did, but she needed a specific size for her 2 month old baby. She needed size #1. Destiny Diaper Bank does diapers. We know what we are doing here when it comes to diapers. We are not going to just give out diapers. We want to make sure that everyone receives their specific size whether it is for an infant or an adult. We want to meet their specific needs and give them quality of life.
Diapers also prevent abuse and neglect. Please help us to help others.

We are always in need of sizes 3-4-5 diapers.
The reason is because at these sizes the babies do not grow as fast from one size to the other.
Diapers can be dropped off at Destiny Center 239-549-2130
1510 SE 46th. Ln. Cape Coral, Fl. 33904
Please check our drop off locations throughout Lee County to find a more convenient drop off location.

During the holidays we met with a young couple from Lee County. They actually are the ages of some of our grown kids. Mark said that he had had it on his mind to help with diapers. He knew that there was a need, but did not know where to go or how to help. After a few long emails (long on my part- explaining what we do) we met up with Mark and his wife to show them our warehouse and share with them our very large vision for Lee County and the needs of our fragile populations that need diapers.
Mark and his wife took out a check that they had already written. I want to say that little is much when God is in it. The check that was written will provide diapers for all of Lee County diaper needs for around 5 weeks. It will also help us with our overhead for Destiny Diaper Bank for the month of December.
This will be a Merry Christmas thanks to them, their heart, and their obedience and love of Jesus. They want to let everyone know that He has made a difference in their lives, so that they can make a difference in others.
Thank you,
God bless you both.

A mom came to the center in need of diapers. She started talking about what was happening in their lives. She first told us that she never thought that they would ever be in such bad shape. A year ago, they were both working and earning a moderate income, paying their bills on time and providing for their two daughters. She lost her job first and then there was no more work for her husband that is in construction. Little by little they have fallen behind in their bills and are now loosing their home. She is afraid that they are not going to even have a place to live. On top of everything they never seem to be able to have money for diapers.
You see diapers are usually on the bottom of the list of needs. Some moms will leave their baby in diapers most of the day emptying the bulk of the soil and placing them back on their baby which is very unhealthy to the child causing diaper rash, and possible abuse. A child sitting in a soiled diaper is more likely to be abused due to crying.
We gave this mom the diapers for her two daughters as she was wiping her tears in thanks. You see her daughters were in the car in the only dish rags that she had left.
Thank you for your donations to Destiny Diaper Bank.
