Brews, Blankets, Big Impact

We’re thrilled to join forces with both the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce for a fun, unique volunteer event – “Brews & Blankets Challenge” at Zaftig Brewing Company & Taproom, sponsored by Mac Construction, EasyIT, Ahola, Outreach Promos, and Virtual Works. Come out on September 20th from 4:00p – 8:00p for a networking happy hour with a twist- Our friends at My Very Own Blanket are throwing up a challenge for SBC, the two chambers and our networks throughout Central Ohio to come together and see how many no-sew fleece blankets we can make in one afternoon for Ohio’s foster youth.

The Challenge

The project is fun and simple – you don’t have to be crafty or know how to sew! Your $15 registration includes a blanket kit and supplies. Our friends at My Very Own Blanket will be on site and have everything set up for a full crafting takeover at the brewery! Additional blanket kits may be purchased in advance if you’d like to make more than one or sponsor a senior blanket project- all unfinished kits will be made and donated on your behalf by residents at an area senior living facility. We’ll have prizes for the team that makes/donates the most kits for the cause, so bring your entire team for a great teambuilding opportunity!

The Power of a Blanket

My Very Own Blanket is dedicated to warming the heart of every child in the foster care system and other children in need with a blanket, to give them a feeling of comfort, security and most of all, a SMILE! Handmade blankets are created through the loving care of volunteers, and distributed to foster youth not just throughout Ohio, but all over the count. of our ministry.
