Every child deserves a clean diaper.
Little Hands Virginia provides diapers and essential supplies to families across Central Virginia, strengthening child health, restoring dignity, and supporting economic stability.
Join the Big Diaper Drive to help us end diaper need in Virginia!
Every October, our community – businesses, schools, neighborhoods, friends, places of worship, and groups – comes together to collect thousands of diapers for families facing diaper need.
Lead your own drive this October and ensure every child in Central Virginia has the essentials they need to thrive. Join us in making a direct, lasting impact. When you register, you’ll get everything you need to host a drive and a fundraiser, with the flexibility to run your event your way.
