Businesses host blanket-making events

The blanket angels above from Matrix PDM Engineering in Columbus had a good time making no-sew fleece blankets on their lunch hour.  It's easy to host a blanket making event.  Here's how! 
>>> Are you hosting a group blanket-making event?  Watch this short video for helpful tips!

"After our MVOB blanket making event, we had so many people come up saying what it meant to them and asking questions about fostering. We even had another group that heard about the event want to set up their own event at our company!

After we dropped off almost 100 blankets, I got such a sweet note from the foster agency showing the appreciation and how the blankets would be used, sending a note out to all foster case workers about the blanket delivery for Children Home Society."

We are blessed by the support of businesses in Central Ohio and all around the United States. These organizations create a service opportunity that encourages their employees to make no-sew fleece blankets for children in foster care.

The company s
