Special Blanket Kits and Tags for Rotary Members Rotary Infant Receiving Blankets - Saving Mothers and Children - Rotary 7 Areas of Focus
We are blessed by our active partnerships with Rotary Clubs all over Ohio, and we would like to include Rotary members in other states and countries in our mission to provide comfort and love to children in foster care everywhere!
There are 4 ways that Rotary members can participate:
1. make a no-sew fleece blanket
2. sew, knit or crochet a blanket
3. sponsor an infant receiving blanket
4. make a donation
1. Make a No-Sew Fleece Blanket Our blanket kits are just $12 (if picked up) or $15 (if shipped to you) and include pre-measured and cut fleece (1.5 yards) with sample fringe cut at each end of 2 opposite sides of the blanket, our special Rotary tag already attached to a back corner, a fringe-cutting template and instructions.
2. Sew, knit or crochet a blanket and attach our special tag If you can sew, knit or crochet blankets, we would love to share your beautiful creations with children in foster care. Once your blanket is complete, just attach one of our special Rotary tags to the back. They are $.35 each; order below.
3. Sponsor a Rotary infant receiving blanket - Saving Mothers and Children - Rotary 7 Areas of Focus These soft, cuddly fleece blankets, 36" x 36," in colors and patterns perfect for infants, will be donated to organizations assembling care kits for newborns of at-risk mothers. We will attach a MVOB special tag, with Rotary logo, to each blanket.
The blankets are $8.00 each. Order here. Please let us know your club name and district number.
4. Make a Donation/Sponsor Blankets If making a blanket is not for you, we encourage you to make a donation to sponsor a blanket to be made by someone else. Each $12 will sponsor one blanket to be made by our friends in senior living communities or in adult day care for folks with developmental disabilities. Make a Donation
You have finished some blankets. What to do with them? Our goal is todonate blankets to children in foster care in the area in which the blankets were made. If you do not live in Central Ohio, use our DELIVERING BLANKETS link to find a children's services or other agency in your area to receive the blankets you make.
If you cannot find an agency near you, please contact us at [email protected]. We will help you locate a nearby organization who can use your blankets.
However you choose to participate with MVOB, know that we are very grateful for your support and that you have helped to provide comfort and love to children in foster care. THANK YOU!
