The corona virus pandemic has affected various sectors, one of which is education where the virus causes teaching and learning activities in schools and campuses to be carried out online as in Yogyakarta State University. On the other hand, many Yogyakarta State University students who come from outside the area cannot go home or go home according to the government's request. This condition makes it difficult for them to fulfill their daily needs because in addition to being confronted with the covid plague 19, outbound access is also limited, and many stalls are closed. This is compounded by the increasingly difficult economic conditions.
The Yogyakarta State University also continues to strive with a variety of assistance in the form of groceries, but because the number of students affected is quite a lot so that they cannot cover everything. This caused the Student Executive Board of the Faculty of Engineering Yogyakarta State University to move.
