In an effort to support food security and local farmers on Lanai, the Maui County Department of Agriculture is inviting qualified nonprofits and for-profit organizations to apply to administer the Lanai-Grown Food Stimulus Program from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

Organizations interested in applying for the grant to administer the program can attend an online workshop at 4 p.m. April 1 on Microsoft Teams. To register, go to tinyurl.com/bdh2hjrb.

The awardee will be responsible for administering the $70,000 county-funded program to supply food vouchers for Lanai residents. Food vouchers must be issued at the Lanai Farmer’s Market and used on the date they are issued for the purchase of locally grown or sourced produce and fruit, edible algae, poi, meat, fish, eggs and honey. Vouchers must be issued for Lanai residents, with preference given to kupuna, children or members of a household with kupuna or children between the ages of 0 and 5.

The deadline to apply is April 27. For more information, go to mauicounty.gov/agriculture, call (808) 270-8276 or email agriculture@mauicounty.gov.
