Introduction

This publication is a list of organizations that provide free or low-cost food and nutrition

materials for consumers. The Food and Nutrition Information Center (FNIC) receives many

requests for materials to distribute at health fairs, classes, physicians' offices, wellness programs,

and other locations. Since FNIC is not a clearinghouse and has a limited number of publications

to distribute in bulk, the Center has developed this publication to help others locate free and

low-cost food and nutrition materials.

The list is alphabetical and divided into four sections: 1) Nutrition, Medical, and Health

Organizations; 2) Food-Related Associations 3) Food Companies; and 4) Food Service Related

Organization materials available in non-English languages, the languages are listed in parenthesis

after the name of the organization. The languages are abbreviated as follows:

A = Arabic

C = Cambodian

Ch = Chinese

Cz = Czechoslavakian

H = Hmong

J = Japanese

K = Korean

L = Laotian or Lao

P = Polish

R = Russian

S = Spanish

T = Tagalog

Th = Thai

Tu = Turkish

V = Vietnamese

Not all publications are available in all languages. FNIC recommends that you call or write the

organization(s) for a publication list or order form. FNIC also suggests that you make your

request(s) for materials as far in advance as possible to allow for processing and mailing time.

Some organizations may take up to eight weeks to fill your request. There are fees for

some of the materials distributed by these organizations.

Inclusion of an organization on this list does not indicate endorsement by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture (USDA), nor does the USDA ensure the accuracy of all information provided by

these organizations.
