Abstract

The outbreak of the Covid 19 virus or what is commonly referred to by the community as the Corona virus has been declared a pandemic in Indonesia. The spread of the virus is so fast, especially in big cities, including Surabaya, with the highest number of victims infected with Covid 19 in East Java. This has caused public unrest in Surabaya because the Covid 19 pandemic has an impact on all aspects of life, not only on the health aspect but also on the economic aspects of the community. The economic impact is felt most by the middle to lower class people, especially those who have not been able to work as they should have since the existence of the PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) in Surabaya. Fulfilling basic daily needs is difficult for the middle to lower class affected by Covid 19. Because of this, some parties have empathy to help people meet their needs during this pandemic. One of Unesa’s closest neighborhoods that is economically affected is the Kelurahan Lidah Wetan. Most of the people of Lidah Wetan depend on Unesa for their lives. They are entrepreneurs selling food, opening photocopying and printing services, and selling daily necessities of which 90% of the consumers are students and the Unesa Lidah Wetan academic community. After the implementation of WFH (Work From Home) and students studying online from the automatic home of the Lidah Wetan community around Unesa, their income decreased significantly. For them, this will affect the stability of food security because it increases their burden in meeting basic needs, such as rice, sugar, cooking oil and other basic needs. Through this PKM, the people of Lidah Wetan who are affected by Covid 19 will be given basic food assistance that can be used to meet their daily needs.
