Ariel's blanket
If you ever wonder how a blanket can make a difference in a child's life, please take a moment to read this kind note from Ariel's foster parents.
Ariel, our foster daughter, received an MVOB blanket recently; it was made by Monica. It was purple, Ariel’s favorite color. She takes it everywhere – doctor appointments, ride in the car, and to her foster Nana’s house.
We just wanted to say, “Thank you so much.” Your blanket means so much to a young girl who had nothing to call her own. She is so proud of the name tag. She shows it to everyone. Thanks for all that you do! We appreciate your kindness!

Our Mission
My Very Own Blanket is dedicated to warming the heart of every child in the foster care system and children in need with a blanket, to give them a feeling of comfort, security and most of all, a SMILE. Handmade blankets are created through the loving care of volunteers.
We connect diverse people, community groups, businesses and services through this volunteer opportunity and ministry to our children in foster care. These gifts are comforting and familiar, and children can take them from one home to another. Thousands of blankets are donated each year to children in foster care. Each blanket is personalized with the child's name, a tradition for My Very Own Blanket since 1999.

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!
If you are looking for a new health care plan, please consider joining our generous sponsors!
