My Very Own Blanket

Another local nonprofit is working to make a difference. My Very Own Blanket, based in Westerville, makes blankets for children across Ohio in foster care. The organization started in 1999 and has made more than 25,000 blankets. They work with volunteers from all over including inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women and the Girl Scouts of America. The organization is now looking to local businesses for support from their employees to help make blankets or donate bath items for the children in foster care. The blankets give the children something they can call their own and hold on to through tough times. My Very Own Blanket is a great cause trying to comfort and provide stability for children in foster care.
