🚨 Kaua‘i SNAP deadline extended to October 8, 2026.

Existing SNAP households that lost food during Hurricane Lowell may request replacement benefits.

If the automatic replacement did not cover your loss—or you received nothing—submit a signed food-loss statement to a DHS Processing Center by October 8.

📞 Questions: 1-855-643-1643

This is a SNAP replacement benefit, not D-SNAP.

Save this deadline and share it with someone who may need it.
