  history

Destiny Family Services was originally founded in 2002 as the Sons and Daughters with Destiny. It is a faith-based non-profit organization and was founded to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential and pursue their purpose and god-given destiny. As the result, our organization was started with two (2) major events:  The “Inner Healing for the Tender Soul” conference at the Double Tree Guest Suites in Atlanta, Georgia and the “Health, Wellness and Community Empowerment Day where we partnered with over 20 for profit and non-profit organizations to provide informational sessions, health symposiums and entertainment to the Mall West End Community.

This organization continues to reach out to men, women, children and families and is providing guidance, opportunity and direction via three (3) projects: 

  • The Women of Elegance Self Esteem and Career Training Program

  • Sons and Daughters with Destiny Youth Academy

  • The Health, Wellness and Educational Summit

Through these three initiatives, many lives will be touched, re-directed and changed.

Destiny Family Services won the 2007 Hosea Williams Community Activism Award and the 2007 Zeta Phi Beta & Phi Beta Sigma’s Dove Award.
