For more than 12 years, Helping Hands Hawai‘i’s SNAP Outreach Program has been making a difference across Oahu—one household at a time. Whether at community centers, neighborhood events, over the phone, or in our agency offices, our dedicated outreach specialists meet people where they are to make sure no one goes hungry in silence.

SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, plays a vital role in helping local individuals and families access healthy food. Yet, navigating the application process can feel overwhelming, especially during challenging times. That’s where our team steps in, offering more than just paperwork assistance. We provide compassionate, one-on-one support to complete and submit applications, track their progress, and help maintain benefits once approved. We also make sure people understand their eligibility and options without confusion or intimidation.

Beyond the one-on-one support, we’re out in the community educating residents about nutrition and available resources. It’s not just about getting food on the table—it’s about strengthening health, dignity, and opportunity.

At Helping Hands Hawai‘i, we believe everyone deserves access to life’s basic necessities. Through our SNAP Outreach Program, we’re proud to be a lifeline for those who need it most.
