The Felix Project's Saturday morning session provided GoodGymers the option to either help in the kitchen or the warehouse. With Jack and Ciarán both never having attended a Felix Project session before, Ciarán assumed he should join the warehouse team while Jack was directed to join the kitchen team. This lead to a case of star-crossed GoodGymers, where although Jack and Ciarán were enjoying the company of the other non-GoodGym volunteers and staff members, they didn't actually see each other.

Luckily however, while Jack was on a quick break, he managed to spot Ciarán who was sorting through good and gone off carrots in his red GoodGym t-shirt. Crisis Averted! The two were finally able to introduce themselves and have a nice chat before getting back to work.

Ciarán, who had signed up to be the designated photo taker still managed to forget to take any photos, however, since he lives quite locally, he was able to grab a quick picture of the front entrance on his bike ride the following day.

It was my first time supporting Project Felix, and I really enjoyed it, staying much longer than anticipated. Moving around heavy food boxes, I now feel more sympathy for staff working in grocery shops.

Very productive session today - so many palletes and a lot of packing!

We sailed through unboxing and sorting an enormous amount of cabbages on Saturday afternoon’s shift at Felix. I can’t remember much else other than excellent company, super good playlists and a lot of practice with the pump trucks and honing our parking skills.

I was in the warehouse, getting properly stuck into organising and packing carrots. The scale was a real eye opener, lots of crates, lots of lifting, and a surprising amount of judgement being passed on root vegetables.

Most of the carrots were in great shape, firm, vibrant, and clearly living their best carrot lives. Others, however, had seen better days and could only be described as a bit soft, slightly soggy, and, in technical terms, a bit mank.

Working with other volunteers to sort the good from the bad, pack up the worthy candidates, and help keep the carrot operation running smoothly. It was oddly satisfying work, even if some carrots made me question their life choices.

All in all, a really enjoyable session, good team energy. Happy to lend a hand again anytime, preferably with vegetables that are feeling a bit more together.

Sure, hairnets are not as fashionable as they were in 2025, but... The title says is it all... 2700 meals packed!
