2025 Blanket-Giving Goal


Bringing love to 
40,000 children and teens in

foster care and in need, one blanket at a time

​ 
"When we all do a little, together we accomplish a lot."

Jessica Rudolph, Founder, 1999  

​What is an exceptional blanket?  ​​Find out here.
On behalf of our babies and toddlers we serve with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services… THANK YOU!!!

We are very appreciative of My Very Own Blanket as a partner to ensure that our children have something both new and uniquely for them and not “handed down.” This often speaks volumes for the population we serve.  Without you and your organization… this would not be possible.

Our Mission
My Very Own Blanket is dedicated to warming the heart of every child and teen in the foster care system and in need with a handmade blanket or quilt, giving them a feeling of comfort, security and most of all, a SMILE.  

Globally we connect diverse people, community groups, businesses and services through this volunteer opportunity and ministry with a gift that is comforting and familiar and can take youth in foster care from one home to another.  Handmade blankets are created through the loving care of “Blanket Angel” volunteers and donated locally!  Thousands of blankets are donated each year and personalized with the child's name, a tradition for My Very Own Blanket since 1999.


MVOB Vision Statement
My Very Own Blanket is committed to putting a blanket in the hands of every youth entering foster care each year.  Beyond providing comfort, we strive to strengthen communities by raising awareness and offering connections with essential support services. Through our mission, we aim to bring warmth, stability and opportunity to those who need it most.

We are so excited to announce that our new van has arrived!!
We are grateful to all who supported this need and donated to Stand-for-a-Cause at our 25th Celebration ~ Giving Tuesday ~ 2024 year-end donors and The Westerville Fund.
Thanks to your generous support, MVOB can now transport large loads of blankets and other materials to events, storage facilities and agencies without using our volunteers' personal vehicles.
Thank you to Krieger Ford for their support in helping us obtain our new van.

Our valued shipping partner
We are so grateful for our partnership with UnitedHealth Care Community Plan for consistent and generous help with our shipping needs.  They help us get blankets into the hands of children in foster care, AND they help us get blanket kits to people outside Central Ohio who want to make our “no-sew” fleece blankets to deliver to children in care in their areas.  So helpful!  We are so grateful and SO THANKFUL!
