Mahalo @civilbeat for publishing Hawai’i Food Industry Association and Hawai’i Food Basket’s editorial about the importance of supporting local 🍍🍅🥗👨‍🌾🍓🛒 Double Up Food Bucks, or simply “DA BUX,” is a lifeline for our state, a testament to our commitment to one another, and a promise to make healthy choices accessible to all. It’s more than just an economic boost; it’s about empowering people, supporting local farmers, and fortifying our state’s economy. DA BUX partners with local food retailers across the state to make locally grown fruits and vegetables more affordable for low-income individuals and families who receive federal food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But this isn’t just a discount program; it’s a promise to nurture the health of our community.

“In August 2023, Made in Hawaii Festival held its 29th annual event. For the first time ever, the festival was held at the Hawai‘i Convention Center with more than 49,000 in attendance during the three-day event held Aug. 18-20. Participating local businesses earned more than $2 million in revenue, and through the collective efforts of the festival and its vendors, thousands of dollars were donated to Maui wildfire relief efforts. “The very heart of Hawaiʻi is anchored in our unwavering support for one another. We’re more than just neighbors or friends; we are ‘ohana,” said Lauren Zirbel, executive director of the Hawaii Food Industry Association, the company that hosts the festival. “Throughout the years, our small businesses have thrived due to this shared bond, and the Made in Hawaii Festival is a radiant celebration of this connection.” This year, more than 49,000 attended the festival featuring over 450 vendor booths spotlighting the state’s most talented local artisans, makers and entrepreneurs with an impressive showcase of Hawaiiana, clothing, food items, unique gifts, exquisite jewelry, intricate arts and crafts, and much more. In addition, the festival featured award-winning entertainment, chef demos & samples, fashion shows, and the Made in Hawaii Festival Beer Garden. The Hawai‘i Convention Center is reserving Aug. 23-25, 2024, for the 2024 Made in Hawaii Festival. Stay tuned to www.MadeinHawaiiFestival.com for updates. In the wake of the wildfires that devastated South Maui, the festival this year contributed $58.2K from ticket and t-shirt sales, as well as direct donations, to the Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund. Vendors together donated approximately a quarter million dollars to Maui wildfire relief efforts. “By being part of this special event, you’ve helped us maximize the support we can offer to those in need on Maui,” added Zirbel. “Mahalo for your incredible support and for helping us make a difference in our beautiful home.” Made in Hawaii Festival extends its deepest gratitude to its 2023 sponsors: Mahi Pono, Central Pacific Bank, Hawaiian Airlines, and HTDC.”
