Our faithful shipping partners

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!

​Rotary Clubs in Ohio

Rotary Clubs all over Ohio have created thousands of handmade blankets for children in foster care in their areas of the state. Rotary members have also donated funds to support blankets that are made by our friends in senior communities and in organizations serving adults with developmental disabilities.

Rotary District 6600 2025 Day of Service

On April 26, Rotarians from 17 clubs in Northwest Ohio came together at Middlegrounds Metropark in Toldeo to fellowship, make new friends, greet old friends, and serve the community in various ways. Some of the Rotarians partnered with MVOB to make and distribute handmade blankets to 100 children and youth in foster care in their area! 

SEE SOME OF THE ACTION IN THIS VIDEO


Westerville Noon Rotary – Tying of the Fleece

​The Westerville Noon Rotary Club recently completed their fifth annual service project for the benefit of My Very Own Blanket. The group completed 157 handmade blankets for children and teens in foster care, bringing their 5-year total to almost 600 blankets! The Rotarians receive strong financial support for this project from members, family and friends as well as foundations and businesses. They conclude the project by tying the remaining blankets at a club meeting/social event called “The Tying of the Fleece.” The club looks forward to continuing to support MVOB for years to come.

Envisage Wealth
Our partners at Envisage Wealth bought no-sew fleece blanket kits and offered them to their clients to make at home and return to Envisage.  At the end of their service event, clients and employees had made 755 blankets!  Below is a link to a fun video they made and posted on Facebook showing the process.  Thanks, Envisage!
