DA BUX Double Up Food Bucks (also known as “DA BUX”) partners with food retailers across the state to discount Hawaiʻi grown fruits and vegetables for low-income recipients of SNAP-EBT food benefits (formerly known as Food Stamps). As the program administrator, The Food Basket reimburses participating food retailers for all produce discounts issued. Additionally, DA BUX is funding the production of the children’s book series, “Kai and Hōkū Explore Foods of Hawaiʻi,” which encourages families to explore local foods together.
