💛♻️ New Partnerships & Helping Hands ♻️💛

It was lovely to meet Fr Stephen Monsignor and Lena Tupua from WARM (Winter Accommodation Resource Movement) yesterday at our Foil Fusion Morning. They are excited to come on board with us to help distribute our blankets to people in need during the colder months. We’re really looking forward to working in partnership with them to keep our community warmer this winter.

We also welcomed three new volunteers at our Foil Fusion Event who joined in helping to make the blankets – thank you for jumping in and supporting the project! 🌟🧡

A big thank you to Harry from Chappy’s Chips in Oakleigh South, VIC! 🥔💚

Harry has kindly sent us another two bags of chip packets for the Chip Packet Project Melbourne (CPPM). These packets will be recycled and transformed into insulating blankets to support people in need as the colder weather approaches.

We really appreciate Chappy’s Chips’ ongoing support in supplying chip packets so we can continue making more blankets and helping our community.

Every chip packet counts – thank you, Harry and Chappy’s Chips!

✨♻️ Foil Fusion Event – Help Make Survival Blankets! ♻️✨

Come along to our next Foil Fusion Event and help us make survival blankets for people in need. 💛

A single chip packet can take 80 years to decompose. By turning them into something useful, we reduce waste and provide comfort to those doing it tough.
Each blanket uses approximately 44 family size chip packets – that’s 3520 recycling years transformed into warmth and care! 🧡🛌

📅 Date: Monday, 16th March
⏰ Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
📍 Location: Rosanna Fire Station Community House
232 Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna

Everyone is welcome – come connect, create, and make a difference! 🌍

✨ Another Successful Foil Fusion Event! ✨

A huge thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who joined us yesterday to help create survival blankets. We truly appreciate everyone who helped us run the event and to all those who came along and gave Foil Fusion a go — your support means so much! 💛

A special shout-out to Diamond Valley Mitre 10 for generously supplying ongoing plastic pallet toppers, which allow us to complete the blankets. Your support helps us continue making a real difference for people in need.

We’re excited to announce that our next Foil Fusion events will be held on:
📅 Monday, 1st December
📅 Monday, 8th December
⏰ 10am – 12pm

If you’re free to volunteer an hour or two to help us make more blankets, we’d love to have you join us!

First Foil Fusion Event - Monday, 1st September 🎉

We are thrilled to share that our inaugural Foil Fusion Event was a fantastic success! 🌟 It was a morning filled with community spirit and collaboration, highlighted by a generous $4,600 grant from Community Bank East Ivanhoe and Heidelberg to kickstart the Chip Packet Project. 🙌

We were delighted to welcome Daniel from Banyule City Council, and Harry from Chappy's Chips, who generously donated bags of chip packets. These contributions are crucial for us to begin creating survival blankets. 🛠️✨

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to our dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly on making the survival blankets. Your hard work is truly appreciated! 💪❤️

A special shoutout to Sweet by Nature for the delicious cakes and slices that made our morning tea extra special. 🍰☕️

We are coming together to make survival blankets for those in need, working hand-in-hand to promote sustainability and uplift our community. Let’s keep this positive energy flowing! 🌍💚
