Program areas at My Very Own Blanket Project

We connect diverse people, community groups, businesses and services through this volunteer opportunity and ministry to our children in foster care. These gifts are comforting and familiar and children can take them from one home to another. Through the loving care of volunteers, thousands of blankets are donated each year to children in foster care. Each Blanket is personalized with the child's name, a tradition for "My Very Own Blanket" since 1999.we have hundreds of Blanket angels, working alone or with a group, who make blankets occasionally, or just once. We also have about 60 active Blanket angels from 49 states who have made an ongoing, multi-year commitment to providing blankets. We value every Blanket angel and every blanket.during the year, our blankets reached children in foster care in 49 states through our non-profit partners such as My comfy kits, comfort cases, My stuff bags, stitched together, carrying hope, el'lesun, wendy's wonderful kids and buckeye ranch, as well as a growing number (300+) of public and private foster care agencies across the u.s.
