elderly and children) in a slumped condition. This downturn, both in terms of

termination of employment, multiburden to, domestic violence to poverty. The

Surabaya city government seeks to prevent new poverty with social assistance

programs in the form of food and food packages for the poor. This study focuses

on gender analysis of food social assistance and food packages from corporate

social responsibility. The research was carried out from April to July 2021 in the

city of Surabaya with the empirical method. The results showed that the food

social assistance program was designed and implemented with a gender

perspective because there was a process of delivering food to the elderly,

children and disabilitieswhile the (corporate social responsibility) CSR food

package program has not used a gender perspective because it’s not based on

women, children and disabilities and the elderly specifically, there is no

food/groceries or special packages to meet the needs of vulnerable groups,

including there is no inclusion program that accompanies self-reliance women

and vulnerable groups. However, the initiation of this food aid package is

sufficient to relieve low-income communities by mobilizing the resources of local

companies, social institutions, caring communities as well as educational and

religious institutions to donate to others affected by COVID.

Keywords: food packages, social assistance, women and vunerable groups
