one by one story: My Very Own Blanket

MVOB recently received a one by one grant from 4imprint that enabled us to order branded tote bags that we can give as thank you gifts to volunteers.  The company included this story  featuring My Very Own Blanket on their website. 
Picture
A fourth-grade boy named Joey was looking forward to the end of the school day. He liked riding the bus home and being with his friends. But today, after the bell rang, the teacher asked if he would come to the principal’s office. Once there, Joey found out he wouldn’t be going home today, but would be leaving to go live with a new family.
That scenario is how many children enter foster care. Volunteers for My Very Own Blanket are dedicated to comforting children like Joey with a handmade blanket. And with tote bag giveaways, founder and CEO Jessica Rudolph can thank volunteers for the care and love they provide.

One blanket, lasting comfort
Often, children in foster care feel they’re not lovable or they’ve done something wrong. When these children receive a handmade blanket, it’s something tangible they can hang on to that provides a sense of security and belonging, especially because so many of them have very few things to call their own.     MORE
