As many as 520 packages of staple food from PT Jantra Swarna Dipta (JSD) and Jakarta Baznas Bazis have been distributed to those in need affected by COVID-19 pandemic in South Jakarta. 

" We really appreciate it. Every family will receive one package"

Each package consisted of 5 kg of rice, 1 liter of cooking oil, 1 kg of sugar, 1 kg of flour, 1 pack of margarine, 1 box of tea and 5 cans of sardine.

South Jakarta Mayor Marullah Matali said that it was a manifestation of the implementation of the large-scale social collaboration (KSBB) program during COVID-19. The food packages would then be distributed to Pulo and Petogogan urban villages, Kebayoran Lama.
