For Ashley Gibb Raggi, ’07, becoming a mom gave her a deep-seated empathy for other moms.
That’s why in 2020, when she discovered a young nonprofit called Little Hands Virginia that delivers baby essentials directly to families in need, she wanted to be a part of it. Raggi soon became its director of operations, coordinating approximately 100 volunteers to serve more than 150 low- to-no-income families each month.
“I feel like this job was made just for me,” she said. “I love it so much. It’s such a tangible way to help people.”
LHV began in 2019 when its founder was on parental leave but found nowhere to donate items her baby no longer needed. The nonprofit has delivered necessities to over 1,500 children that help them to be safe, clean, and healthy.
