WINTER PARK, Fla. \u2014 Jewish Family Services of Greater Orlando\u2019s Pearlman Food Pantry<\/a> has received more than 7,800 pounds of diapers and wipes to help Central Florida families in need.<\/p>\n

The donation came through HomeAid Orlando\u2019s 2026 Builders for Babies Diaper Drive, which ran from May 10 through June 19.<\/p>\n

Organizers said the community-wide drive collected more than 830,000 diapers and essential items for families served by five Central Florida nonprofit agencies.<\/p>\n

JFS Orlando\u2019s Pearlman Food Pantry received about 7,823 pounds of diapers and wipes through the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiapers are not a luxury; they are a basic necessity for a child\u2019s health, comfort, and well-being,\u201d said Philip Flynn III, president of JFS Orlando. \u201cWe are deeply appreciative of HomeAid Orlando and every person, business, and organization that contributed to this extraordinary effort. Their generosity will make a meaningful difference for families who are already making difficult choices every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

JFS Orlando said the diapers and wipes will support families dealing with food insecurity, housing instability, unexpected expenses and other challenges.<\/p>\n

The organization also thanked DJ Lira, CEO of VFS Construction, and his team for donating use of a U-Haul and helping unload the supplies.<\/p>\n
