Nutrition Educator teaching MyPlate activity with participants.

SNAP-Ed

The Hawaiʻi SNAP-Ed program primarily services single adult populations by teaching them ways to live full healthy lives through nutrition education and physical activity. Nutrition education lessons are also available to youth populations in designated areas across the islands. Hawaiʻi SNAP-Ed also offers special projects, like Food to Grow, that address access to healthy foods in various settings.

Food and Money Basics is a practice-based learning curriculum which teaches participants practical life and food skills.

The Hawaiʻi - Food and Lifeskills for Youth (HI-FLY) program engages youth grades 6-12 in healthy eating and active living behaviors to provide the foundation and skills necessary to live a long healthful life.

UH Food to Grow offers free seedling kits and supplies to low-income populations to increase their access to healthful foods and improve vegetable intake by encouraging recipients to start their own produce gardens at home.

"Got EBT?" signage at farmers markets encourages the use of SNAP benefits/EBT to purchase fruits and vegetables.

Explore outdoor places in your community to be active throughout the islands of Hawaiʻi, exercise videos for staying active indoors in the comfort of your home, and other materials to help make physical activity a part of your lifestyle. Find new ways to be active every day!
