Maui County is seeking contractors to help expand healthy, locally sourced food at senior congregate dining sites throughout the county.

The request for proposals for the Locally Grown Healthy Food for the Kupuna program opened Dec. 3, with bids due by Jan. 30.

The county is seeking contractors to provide locally sourced food to supplement existing senior congregate dining services. The county Department of Human Concerns’ Congregate Dining Program provides nutritious meals and social engagement opportunities for older adults on Maui, Molokai and Lanai.

“These County of Maui services are crucial to support healthy aging, reduce social isolation and promote food security,” County Department of Agriculture Director Rogerene “Kali” Arce said.
