At dawn, while most people are still asleep, the restaurant's kitchen begins its work. About 10 people are busy preparing individual meals to serve those in need, low-income workers, lottery ticket vendors, lonely elderly people, and so on. Although cooking is quite hard work, the members are very happy to be doing charitable work.

They hope to have enough health to continue participating in this humanitarian activity. The dedication and skill of the members have contributed to providing heartwarming meals, allowing them to feel that amidst the hustle and bustle of life, kindness still blossoms.

Funding for the service comes from members' contributions and donations from benevolent individuals. To date, the model has provided over 3,000 free meals to vulnerable individuals in the area and surrounding regions.
