Ladies of Destiny

Ladies of Destiny is a non-profit organization that serves the purpose of supporting and empowering our sisters and brothers from all walks of life.
Ernesta Washington, who is the founding President, had a vision and interest in helping others. Ernesta recognized that there was a need for community service; through much prayer, determination and dedication. Ladies of Destiny was established in 2005. Ernesta leads an awesome group of ladies who are always willing and ready to accept the challenges that may arise. Ladies of Destiny started passing blankets and other necessary items to the homeless as well as nursing homes to the patients. That wasn’t enough for Ernesta; she dreamt that more was needed to be done.
