    Fusion Fun Day for the Chip Packet Project

    Thursdays 10:30AM - 3:00PM
    Fridays 9:00AM - 2:00PM

    The Chip Packet Project collect and recycle chip packets, transforming them into survival blankets to help those who need it most. These Thermal Survival Blankets are proven to make a difference and are donated for free to those who need a helping hand to keep warm.
