There is always lots going on at MVOB—at our Westerville, Ohio workshop or other locations in Central Ohio and beyond.  We are grateful to the organizations and businesses who sponsor blanket-making events for their members and employees. These event names are printed in blue.
​
Some of these events are sponsored by MVOB (event name in green), and you are invited to participate!

 

All about Open Volunteer Sessions
​​• Open Volunteer Sessions are held on the 1st and 3rd Thursday (6-8 pm) and 2nd and 4th Saturday (10am - Noon) of the month (occasional exceptions are noted on this calendar).
• Would you like to volunteer in the workshop but can’t be there on weekdays? These sessions on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings are made for you!
• We need help with a variety of projects. You don’t have to know how to sew. Come just once or more often, as your schedule allows. Volunteers younger than 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
• If you want to volunteer, we strongly encourage you to let us know you’re coming at [email protected].  We have limited space and want to have room for everyone.
