DA BUX offers SNAP users half off when they purchase locally-grown produce. The program is in danger of budget cuts just when we need it most. Tell @GovHawaii, no cuts to food for #Hawaii families. Take action with just a few clicks here: p2a.co/MfVgiPC #Hunger

One-and-a-quarter billion dollars. That’s how much Hawaii received from the federal CARES Act to respond to the economic fallout caused by the pandemic.

30 million students participate in the National School Lunch Program — instead of shaming our children for their lunch debts, we need to tackle the problem of food insecurity in America. bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/0…

No one should go to school and starve. All students, regardless of income, deserve to be fed.
