Introduction: In Peru, public policies have been implemented to provide food assistance, among them the Popular soup kitchens (PC). However, little is known of a possible increase in the excess weight in its beneficiary population. Materials and methods: A secondary analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey for the years 2014 and 2018 was carried out. The sample consisted of women of childbearing age between 15 and 45 years. The outcome variable was the presence of excess weight, which was categorized in two ways. 1) As a categorical variable following the WHO recommendations for Thinness (<18.5), Normal (18.5 - 24.9), Overweight (> = 25 - 29.9), Obesity (> = 30). 2) As a dichotomous variable in the presence or not of excess weight (BMI> = 25). Being beneficiaries of soup kitchens was defined through the question “Does any member of your household receive food or nutritional aid from the Social Comedor Popular Program? of the ENDES questionnaire. Results: Of a total of 59,844 records, 57,055 were analyzed, (2014, n = 23,532; 2018, n = 33,532). The women beneficiaries of CP were for 2014 (n = 375) and for 2018 (n = 564). For 2014, a significant association between excess weight and being beneficiaries of PC was evidenced (PR = 1.14 95% IC: 1.05-1.23). Likewise, there was a greater risk of being overweight and some demographic variables, including age, where it was evidenced that women over 40 years of age were more likely to be overweight (PR = 2.19 95% IC: 1.99 - 2.41). Similarly, having a medium socioeconomic level is associated with a greater probability of being overweight/ obesity (PR = 1.23 95% IC: 1.16-1.31). Conclusion: In beneficiaries of soup kitchens there was a higher prevalence of excess weight in relation to non-beneficiaries. Regarding the model of differences in differences, it reported absence of changes in the associations in the years 2014 and 2018. Finally, it is recommended to carry out more studies, where the effect of the PC can be evaluated from all its components, in order to propose interventions aimed exclusively at the problem encountered.
