Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh - Deputy Head of the Provincial Red Cross Society's Propaganda Department, a core member of the group - said: From 1am, the members were on duty to cook congee, and at 5am, they started congee distribution at Nghe An Lung Hospital, Military Hospital 4, Traditional Medicine Hospital, Vinh General Hospital, City Hospital, Facility 1 and Nghi Van Commune Orphanage and Disabled Children's Center. Despite the discovery of an accident near the area, they still completed the congee distribution task and returned to support the transportation of watermelon before they could eat breakfast.

In addition, on May 9 and 10, the group gave 180 meals to cancer patients and dialysis patients at Military Hospital 4. This is a regular activity, in addition to many charity programs such as giving Tet gifts, wrapping banh chung, repairing houses, and flood relief.
