Abstract

Background: Stunting and anemia are major nutritional problems, both in Indonesia and around the world. The condition of the body of a stunted toddler is characterized by a failure to grow due to chronic malnutrition. Efforts are needed to overcome these problems through the fulfillment of nutrient intake by utilizing local foods in the form of moringa leaves and catfish as natural ingredients that are rich in nutrients. This activity aims to educate the people of Glagahwero Village, Panti District, Jember Regency regarding healthy snack innovations that are beneficial to the community. Method: This community service activity consists of several series of activities, namely providing education using power point (PPT) media and pamphlets, cooking demonstrations carried out by several participants/communities, and filling out pre-test and post-test sheets to measure community knowledge related to the material that has been presented. Results: The results of the pre-test and post-test showed an increase in the number of mothers under five who answered the pre-test and post-test questions correctly. The increase in the number of mothers under five who answered correctly occurred most in knowledge about snacks to prevent stunting and anemia.  Conclusion: This community service activity can increase public knowledge about the importance of fulfilling balanced nutrition and the importance of providing healthy snacks, through healthy snack innovations in the form of Cilelor (Cilok Lele Kelor) to overcome the problem of stunting and anemia in the Galagahwero community
