The bill establishes the Hawaii farm to families program to fund food banks in the State to purchase, store, and transport fresh, Hawaii-grown or -produced food to food insecure communities. The program aims to relieve food shortages and support local agriculture producers. The Department of Agriculture will administer the program, which will receive $2,000,000 for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The program will serve food-insecure homes, particularly those disproportionately affected by hunger, including Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders.
