The program strengthens Hawaii's local food system by increasing retailer participation, developing online SNAP payment capabilities, and creating nutrition education resources that link low-income households to locally grown produce.
The Food Basket is a nonprofit organization based in Hilo, Hawaii, registered in SAM.gov since 2014 and focused on addressing food insecurity through community food security initiatives, local farmer support, and strategic partnerships with county and community entities. Work is performed in Hawaii. The period of performance runs from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2029, with an option for a one-year extension available to complete project objectives.
