Hawaii SB3257 appropriates funds to continue the Hawaii Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) program.

Hawaii SB3257 allocates funds to the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience and the Department of Health to sustain the Hawaii SNAP-Ed program. This program, discontinued at the federal level, previously improved nutrition, promoted healthy eating, and expanded access to nutritious foods for low-income families. The state funding aims to continue these benefits, including nutrition education, meal planning, budgeting skills, and food affordability improvements. The program also supported local food systems and community organizations.
