Central Florida Diaper Bank

What Central Florida Diaper Bank does

Central Florida Diaper Bank is a Winter Garden, Florida-based nonprofit organization founded in September 1995 that operates Central Florida's only Diaper Distribution Network. The organization's mission is to advocate and encourage healthy growth, nutrition, and development for children from newborn to age three, with the vision of providing pregnancy and basic needs resources, parenting education, and linkage to community resources to pregnant and parenting at-risk mothers, fathers, and guardians with infants and toddlers ages 0 to 3. Eligibility requires that parents be working or attending school at least 20 hours per week and have income at or below 185% of Federal Poverty Guidelines.

The organization delivers an average of 92,000 diapers per month to 1,235 families through a portfolio of six core programs: the Diaper Distribution Network (the core supply pipeline), Healthy Babies (diapers plus nutrition and education), the Emergency Food Pantry (baby formula), Mobile Diaper Distributions (outreach to underserved neighborhoods via a mobile unit), the Parent Learning Academy (weekly Zoom sessions on prenatal, postpartum, breastfeeding, safe sleep, financial literacy, ESOL, and mental health), and the Red Dot Program (menstrual supplies for the broader community). It reaches beneficiaries through 40+ partner organizations including Florida Department of Children and Families, Arnold Palmer Hospital, Winnie Palmer Hospital, Healthy Start Coalitions of Orange and Seminole Counties, Heart of Florida United Way, Second Harvest Food Bank, and multiple municipal governments across Orange, Lake, Osceola, Polk, and Seminole Counties.

The business model is donations-based, not commercial. The organization accepts individual financial contributions (via PayPal and mailed checks), in-kind product donations (diapers, wipes, formula, hygiene products), and corporate/foundation grants (notably from Huggies, Good360, and Walt Disney World). There is no pricing model, no product sales, and no fee-for-service component. Operations are led by Executive Director Sharon Lyles and a five-member volunteer board (Gabrielle Randle, Roben Dunnings, Laura Dorsey, Nona Tyler, Kristina Mosley). The organization reports 1-10 employees, is privately held as a 501(c)-style nonprofit, and does not publicly disclose revenue or financial statements.

Direct peers

• Austin Diaper Bank: Regional diaper bank serving Central Texas through partner agencies and direct distributions. Near-identical operating model — diaper collection via drives, distribution through community partners to at-risk families — making it one of the closest direct comparisons for scale and structure.
• National Diaper Bank Network: National umbrella organization of more than 200 diaper banks across the U.S., of which Central Florida Diaper Bank is an affiliate. Directly comparable mission of diaper distribution to families in need and provides a structural peer for operational benchmarks and grant access.
• DC Diaper Bank: Washington D.C.-area diaper bank distributing free diapers through partner organizations to low-income families. Directly comparable operating model, with similar partner-network distribution and donor-supported supply chain.
• Diaper Bank of North Carolina: State-level diaper bank distributing more than a million diapers monthly through partner agencies. Closely comparable geographic/statewide distribution model and partner-network structure to Central Florida Diaper Bank.
• Baby2Baby: National nonprofit distributing diapers, clothing, and other basic essentials to children living in poverty across the U.S. Highly comparable in product mix (diapers, wipes, formula, hygiene) and target population (low-income families with infants and toddlers), though operating at significantly greater scale.
• Atlanta Diaper Bank: Regional diaper bank serving metro Atlanta through partner agencies. Comparable regional scale, partner-led distribution architecture, and family-support programs to Central Florida Diaper Bank.

Others

• Good360: Nonprofit that brokers donated consumer goods from manufacturers and retailers to nonprofits like diaper banks. Functions as an upstream enabling partner in the supply chain that makes Central Florida Diaper Bank's in-kind product model viable, rather than a competing distributor.

Emerging players

• Healthy Start Coalition of Orange County: Community-based maternal and child health organization that is an existing distribution partner of Central Florida Diaper Bank. Comparable in serving at-risk pregnant women and infants, with overlapping but not identical service offerings (home visiting, case management versus diaper distribution).
