HCA Virginia announces HCA Healthcare Foundation's $25,000 grant to Little Hands Virginia
In conjunction with Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, HCA Virginia, in partnership with its Black Colleague Network, today presented a $25,000 grant to Little Hands Virginia to help provide essential safety items to economically disadvantaged young children during the critical first years of life.
The grant will support the expansion of Little Hands Virginia’s Child Safety Fund program, which helps ensure children’s health and safety by providing car seats and strollers for safe transportation, pack ’n plays for safe sleep, and other costly but necessary safety equipment to low-income families across Central Virginia.
The grant presentation followed an MLK Day of Service Community event in which 50 HCA Virginia colleagues volunteered to help bundle diapers for families in need.
“In partnership with more than 130 organizations, Little Hands Virginia does incredible work ensuring children across Central Virginia have the essentials they need from birth to improve lifelong outcomes,” said Devin Tobin, chief operations officer with HCA Virginia, and member of the Board of Directors with Little Hands Virginia. “The organization fills a critical gap in the safety net of support in the Greater Richmond region, and we are proud to support their mission through this grant.”
In 2025, Little Hands Virginia served more than 12,000 families, delivering critical resources to some of the most vulnerable and underserved members of the community. Last year alone, the organization distributed more than 1.9 million diapers through its diaper bank.
“We are deeply grateful for this timely funding, which will help us meet a continued rise in demand for essential items for young children,” said Taylor Keeney, founder and executive director of Little Hands Virginia. “With the support of partners like HCA Virginia, we can strengthen health outcomes for children and uplift families throughout the Richmond community by providing critical resources where they are needed most.”
The funding is part of the HCA Healthcare Foundation’s Healthier Tomorrow Fund, a $75 million community impact fund designed to support innovative initiatives focused on addressing high priority community needs and health equity.
