<![CDATA[Stunting remains an important nutritional problem requiring community-based prevention efforts, including education on stunting and nutrition. This community service activity aimed to describe changes in Posyandu cadres’ knowledge following an educational program and introduce Patin-Kelakai Dimsum as an example of local food utilization. The activity was conducted on June 9, 2026, in Pekapuran A, Sungai Baru Village, Central Banjarmasin District, Banjarmasin City, involving 21 Posyandu cadres from Gadang Hanyar Community Health Center. The program included a pre-test, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), education on stunting and nutrition, practical preparation of Patin-Kelakai Dimsum, and a post-test. Knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire containing questions on stunting and nutrition, with scores converted to a 0–100 scale. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing mean pre-test and post-test scores and calculating the proportion of participants achieving a post-test score of ≥70. The mean score increased from 46.03 to 77.14, an absolute increase of 31.11 points. Eighteen participants (85.71%) achieved a post-test score of ≥70. These findings indicate higher knowledge scores following the activity; however, the uncontrolled pre-test–post-test design does not establish causal effectiveness. The practical introduction of Patin-Kelakai Dimsum provided an example of local food utilization for community nutrition education. Further activities should assess practical skills and nutritional composition and provide continued mentoring.]]>
