Members of the Hawaiian Council’s outreach team will be on Maui on Feb. 3-4 to provide in-person assistance for eligible Native Hawaiian residents currently receiving SNAP benefits.

According to the council, up to $350 in grocery gift cards per person will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. To date, more than $443,000 in grocery gift cards has been distributed across Hawaii.

Community members who believe they qualify are strongly encouraged to come in person. Hawaiian Council’s staff will be on site to help applicants determine eligibility and complete the application process.

The outreach events will be from noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 3 at the Foodland at 55 Pukalani St. in Makawao and 2 to 6 p.m. Feb. 4 at the Foodland at 90 Kane St. in Kahului.

Applicants must be Native Hawaiian, live in Hawaii, be a current SNAP recipient and have no minor dependents. Applicants must also bring a government-issued photo ID and documents proving Hawaii residency, Native Hawaiian ancestry and current SNAP benefits. Grocery gift cards will be provided while supplies last.
