Introduction: Food security in orphanages is defined as the condition where food needs are met adequately, safely, nutritiously, and sustainably across the dimensions of availability, access, utilization, and stability. However, some orphanages still experience mild food insecurity. Objective: This study aimed to assess the food security status at the Muhammadiyah Aisyiyah Orphanage in Surabaya City. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The population consisted of 60 orphanage staff members involved in food management. A sample of 52 respondents was selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire measuring the four dimensions of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability. Analysis was performed descriptively using frequency distributions and percentages. Results and Discussion: Fifty respondents (96.2%) were classified as food secure, while two respondents (3.8%) experienced mild food insecurity. No respondents fell into the moderate or severe food insecurity categories. This status was supported by adequate food availability, good access to food through funding sources and donors, food utilization that considers children's nutritional needs, and food stability achieved through planned food management. Discussion: Overall, food security at the Muhammadiyah ‘Aisyiyah Orphanage in Surabaya City is in a good category. However, efforts to further improve the situation remain necessary—such as securing funding sources, optimizing food management, and developing sustainable food systems—to prevent future food insecurity.
