During the event, PCSO turned over 1,600 Charitimba (food packs), medicines, and vitamins worth P100,000.00 to the local government of Zamboanga City. These donations were intended to benefit indigents, senior citizens, and individuals with disabilities and illnesses.

PCSO also supported the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair in Zamboanga City on May 10-11, 2024, by giving away free lotto tickets and Scratch It! cards to attendees.
The LAB for All caravan is an initiative by First Lady Marie Louise “Liza” Araneta-Marcos aimed at delivering medical services such as free laboratory tests, consultations, and medicines, along with other services from various government agencies and private sectors, to Filipinos in need across the country.
The Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair aims to bring various government services directly to the people, particularly the underprivileged.
