Our Mission
MVOB is dedicated to warming the heart of every child in the foster care system with a blanket which gives them a feeling of comfort, security and, most of all, a SMILE!
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.  Through the loving care of volunteers, 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.  

Thanks to everyone who participated in our virtual auction!
Your generosity provided more than $1,300 to support our mission.
If you missed it, you'll have another chance in February to bid on handmade panel quilts for a special child in your life.  Details will be available soon.

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!
