How to use this guide if you need help today
- Call 211 for the nearest food pantry, shelter, or emergency help.
- If you’re a caregiver or need home help, call 643-ADRC to get assessed for services like meals or respite.
- If you’re in crisis, call 988 or Hawaiʻi CARES anytime.
- For Medicaid (Med-QUEST), SNAP (food stamps), or LIHEAP (energy), follow the “Programs” sections below for steps and links to apply.
- If your home or job was affected by a disaster, check HI-EMA and DisasterAssistance.gov and your county emergency page for current programs.
Reality check: Many programs have waitlists, set application windows, and documents you must gather. Don’t give up if you hear “no” at first—ask what else is open now and when to try again.
Emergency help first: safety, shelter, and rapid food support
- Shelters and urgent needs: Call Hawaii 211 to find the closest shelter, day center, or outreach provider.
- Disaster response and recovery: For current incidents, see HI-EMA and your county emergency site:
- O‘ahu: Honolulu Department of Emergency Management
- Maui County: Maui Emergency Management Agency
- Hawaiʻi County: Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense
- Kauaʻi: Kauaʻi Emergency Management Agency
After a federally declared disaster, apply for aid at DisasterAssistance.gov.
- D-SNAP (Disaster SNAP): Only opens when USDA approves it for a specific disaster. Watch announcements via USDA D‑SNAP and HI-EMA.
- Report suspected elder abuse: Use the DHS APS contacts at Hawaii APS. If in immediate danger, call 911.
- Mental health/substance use: Call or text 988. Hawaiʻi’s 24/7 local line is Hawaiʻi CARES.
Example: After the 2023 Maui wildfires, recovery information and resources were coordinated through state, county, and federal partners; Maui residents could track updates at Maui Recovers and apply for federal aid at DisasterAssistance.gov.

Program snapshots (what they are and how they help)
- SNAP: Monthly EBT benefits to buy groceries at approved stores and some farmers’ markets. Helps stretch budgets as food prices rise. See Hawai‘i SNAP.

Reality checks, warnings, and practical tips
- Waitlists happen. Put your name on them, ask for interim help, and note who you spoke with and when.
- Scams spike after disasters. No agency will demand gift cards or ask for your full Social Security number by text. Verify caller ID and call the agency back using its website number.
- Missed deadlines can cost you benefits. Put LIHEAP, property tax, and farmers’ market voucher dates on your calendar and ask 211 or ADRC to confirm.
- Keep your contact info updated with every agency. If they can’t reach you, you may lose your spot or benefits.
