Thank you for supporting MVOB on #GivingTuesday.  We are very grateful for everyone who gives their time, treasure and talents to helping provide comfort and love to children in foster care -- on #GivingTuesday and every day!

#GivingTuesday is over, but our need for YOU continues!
We hope to be a part of your year-end giving. Learn how below. 
 
1.  Give a blanket. 
  • Purchase a fleece blanket kit for $12 (pick up) or $15 (to ship) to get all you need to make a blanket and to support our work.  
  • Sponsor a blanket.  Donate $20 to sponsor a blanket that will be made by other volunteers.   
  • Donate a quilt or knitted/crocheted blanket.  Work alone or with your quilt guild or knitting group.   Get blanket details here
  • Host a blanket event for friends, co-workers, family.  It's simple; learn how.​
 
2.  Give your time. 
Become a workshop  volunteer – just once, once a week, once a month, or whenever you’re available.  Some volunteer tasks:  cut selvedges from lengths of fleece, cut fringe, sew on labels (you can do this at home!), print labels, cut labels, cut 1.5-yard lengths of fleece.    
Email [email protected] or call 614-530-3327 to learn more or volunteer.


​
 
3.  Give a gift.
Your financial gifts are vital to our success.  They support our operating costs -- for our workshop, purchase of fabric and supplies, shipment of completed blankets, and all the other things that allow us to carry out our mission of warming the heart of every child in the foster care system.  Making a gift online is easy.  Click here to Give.

Thank you for providing love and comfort to children in foster care through the gift of a handmade blanket on #GivingTuesday and every day!

What is #GivingTuesday?
#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
​
It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in.

We Would Love to Have You GET INVOLVED!
