Handmade blankets are created through the loving care of volunteers as we support them to provide their handmade donations to children's services and children in need locally. 

Globally we connect diverse people, community groups, businesses and services through this volunteer opportunity and ministry with a gift that is comforting and familiar and can take youth in foster care from one home to another. Handmade blankets are created through the loving care of “Blanket Angel” volunteers and donated locally! Thousands of blankets are donated each year and personalized with the child's name, a tradition for My Very Own Blanket since 1999.
