How to Order Using SNAP-EBT & DA BUX

SNAP logo
 
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a crucial defense against hunger in our communities. Almost 50% of Hawaiʻi families with children were food insecure in 2021 according to a study by the University of Hawaiʻi (Pruitt et al. 2021). Enhancing long-term, systems-level solutions and community-based approaches is a key way the study’s authors suggest to reduce this dangerously high level of food insecurity. 

One program helping build our community-based food systems is The Double Up Food Bucks program (DA BUX) which doubles the value of SNAP benefits on local agricultural products, benefiting both SNAP recipients and local farmers. Read more about the DA BUX program in our blog here. 

Shortening the distance between local consumers and farmers, the Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op is proud to support Hawaiʻi families by accepting SNAP-EBT for all our food products and offering DA BUX discounts for our minimally-processed, Hawaiʻi-grown and -made products.
