Instructions were then given regarding the preparation of ingredients. Following this, the LEO members were divided into three groups, each guided by one or two members of the organisation. The groups then dispersed to different areas to begin the activities.

By 10:10 a.m., the groups began their community service by preparing the ingredients assigned by the organisation. The members of the vegetable group were tasked with selecting fresh leaves from the bundles and cutting tomatoes in half. Meanwhile, a group of four male members was assigned to clean and chop chickens into small pieces. In addition, members prepared soymilk desserts with jelly and packed over 300 servings. After the food preparation, all members assisted in packing the cooked meals into containers. By 1:20 p.m., after a busy morning, the LEO members were treated to lunch prepared by the organisation. Following the meal, the members cleaned up the soup kitchen and ensured everything was organised before heading home.
