When Taylor Keeney was cleaning out her son’s closet in preparation for her second child, she wanted a meaningful place to donate his hand-me-downs. Not finding an organization with this specific purpose, she decided to start her own. She soon began gathering supplies from friends and donating them out of her Goochland garage, and Little Hands Virginia was born.
Five years later, the nonprofit isn’t so little anymore. Keeney recently moved the organization’s operations into a 6,500-square-foot warehouse near Bryan Park to accommodate pallets of diapers and other critical supplies intended for babies up to 3 years old, such as gently used clothing, portable play yards, high chairs, blankets and toys.
