This is my first visit to the Felix project. I reached 30 minutes earlier than my slot time only because I got the timings wrong. After signing in, I was asked to wait in the kitchen area as there was one more first-time volunteer visiting today.

I spent some time trying to figure out how to use the coffee machine and luckily a Felix staff member assisted me in getting my morning caffeine in. High vis - check, gloves - check, name tag - check, Safety boots - ???. Felix team had safety boots for everyone. After booting up, I was given an overview of what today's tasks are going to be.

Sorting food by type and use by date. Having done a couple of city harvest missions, I smoothly transitioned to the task. After the first hour of sorting, weighing, and labeling the food, all the volunteers took a short tea break. Then we continued doing the same for the remaining 1 hour.

The only complex thing I faced today was weighing as I had to calculate the average weight of each crate and mention them in the labels. There was a table that I needed to follow and used calculators for doing the same.
