Stunting (malnutrition) is a nutritional problem that will have an impact on intelligence levels, susceptibility to disease, and decreased productivity which will hamper economic growth, causing an increase in poverty and various other problems. Subang Regency is one of the areas that has problems regarding stunting. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out various efforts to prevent stunting. This Community Service aims to form a "Stunting Care" group which has the ability to participate in stunting prevention. The method used is the formation of a "stunting care" group which is equipped with knowledge provided through lectures, questions and answers, and discussions in order to increase knowledge and understanding. This community service activity is carried out in four stages, namely: the preparation stage (determining the location, how to contact the community, obtaining activity permits and coordinating with the village), the organizing stage (formation of a "stunting care" group consisting of posyandu cadres, PKK members, and the Cinta Mekar village community), the education and training implementation stage (providing pretest material for the "stunting care" group which includes the understanding, causes, characteristics and impacts of stunting, as well as training on early detection of stunting using a stunting meter; which then ends with posttest), and evaluation stage (evaluation of the entire series of service activities). In this community service, a "stunting care" group was successfully formed consisting of posyandu cadres, PKK members, and the willing Cinta Mekar village community. The participants formed were 12 people who had understanding, knowledge and skills to participate in effort to prevent stunting.
