Abstract

Medowo Village’s local potential still needs to be fully utilized despite having abundant resources. It’s said that the housewives in Medowo Village, Kandangan District, Kediri Regency, have never made milk crackers before and have no prior expertise with the process. Meanwhile, finding the ingredients needed to make milk crackers is simple and abundant. Products made from cow’s milk were previously limited to being sold raw to the Village Unit Cooperative (KUD). Thus, this community service project aims to train the housewives of Medowo Village to become better at producing milk crackers, which could improve the family’s financial output. This is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicators, which include raising the income of the Medowo Village Community through economic growth (economic development) and industry, innovation, and infrastructure to achieve zero hunger. 29 housewives from Medowo Village participated in this community service project in August 2024. It began with a presentation of information by the community service team, was followed by help practicing making milk crackers, and concluded with reflection and feedback and the distribution of a questionnaire. This community service project aims to help the housewives in Medowo Village become more proficient at producing milk crackers. The questionnaire’s results demonstrate that the community service project went successfully and that the participants can comprehend and make milk crackers proficiently. Participants recommended that the following workshop, which focused on marketing milk cracker goods, be continued.
