As more and more seniors are learning about Destiny Diaper Bank and the help that we give to our most fragile and vulnerable population, we are running low on our adult pull-up diapers and pose pads.
Our largest donations come from families of loved ones that have passed away. They are very grateful to us and all of the people that we help. At a time when there is sometimes pain and suffering from the loss of a loved one, the thought that their donation is going to help so many people is somewhat of a relief to them.
The facts:
Destiny Diaper Bank is here to help. We are a 501 C 3 non profit charity helping low income families that are in need of diapers. Your tax donation may be a tax deduction to you.
Please send this to those that are in a situation that may need diapers or to those that can help to donate diapers. For information call Rev. Rebecca at 239-910-8198
Again, thank you for any help that you can give. Together we can make a difference in the lives of many.

We are still in need of our own building. Around 3,000 sq. ft. of donated space.
For five years we have operated our ministry from 1510 SE 46th. Ln., Cape Coral, Fl. 33904. During those 5 years, we have distributed over1 million diapers, clothing, baby beds, wheelchairs, strollers,car seats,toys, maternity clothing, medical supplies, bed-side toilets, shower chairs, 30,000 bottles of lotion, 10,000 bottles of pedialyte, formula, and 15,000 bottles of pre-natal vitamins. I will never forget our first quarter that we gave over $195,000.00 in needed supplies to needy residents of SWFL. Thanks to most of you we have been able to achieve great heights. When our connection came with Huggies our distribution grew to 3,000 diapers a day to individuals, local agencies, crisis pregnancy centers, day care centers, and women's abuse shelters.
We have seen tears dry as we have filled homes with not just baby items, but a sence of security that we would be there. I walked out of a 7-11 last week and a women came up to me and said, "I know you. You helped my daughter out when she had her first baby. I just want to say thanks."
In early March our landlord came in to the center in tears. The owner of our building wanted to make changes on his building in hopes that it would attract more income than the $750.00 that we were paying. I was pretty excited thinking that this was the push that we needed to change locations and better serve those in need. Well, it has not all happened the way I thought. (Have you been there?)
A friend of ours helped us out with 2 large buildings for our diapers and other donations, but they can only be used for storage.
Thanks to all of you who have continued to support us and believe in our cause. We believe that generations will be changed through those that have chosen to associate with us and our programs. We do not believe in just giving a hand out, but a hand up. By encouraging education and providing help with needed diapers, and other baby/adult items lives can be changed.
We still have not secured money through grants and have not taken any goverment funding. We still rely on donations from people like you.
If you can help please do so now. If you need to send a check you can mail it to 1402 NE 5th. Ave. Cape Coral, Fl. 33909. If you need to speak to me my cell is 239-910-8198.
We have several up-coming events and would love to have you volunteer.
