My Very Own Blanket is dedicated to warming the heart of every child in the foster care system with a blanket, to give them a feeling of comfort, security and most of all, a SMILE.
For over 23 years, My Very Own Blanket has provided hundreds of thousands of blankets to children in the foster care system. We partner with schools, universities, service organizations, faith based organizations, senior living communities, developmentally disabled centers and individual community members to make each blanket and then distribute to public and private foster care agencies. These blankets are provided to the organizations at no charge to them.
How can a blanket make a difference?
"Taylor was a child in my fifth grade class. She brought in a very special blanket to show me that she received one night.
She said the sheriff came at midnight to get her and her mother out of their apartment. Her mother said, 'Grab your hairbrush.' The brush was all she had until the sheriff gave her a blanket. It was from My Very Own Blanket.
Taylor was so touched that a stranger made this for her. I could tell that it was well loved and used every night. What a treasure for a scared little girl! Thank you for all you do to help children in care feel loved! "
