WHAT IS IT? NFSMI's Information Services provides all types of information or referrals about any Child Nutrition Program, and it's free! We answer questions, identify information, and work in conjunction with the National Agricultural Library (NAL) to lend materials. You may contact us and speak with an experienced school meals specialist, then receive printed information by download, fax, U.S. mail or email. Materials available from NAL are searchable via NAL's Web Gateway to AGRICOLA.

WHO CAN USE IT? Anyone associated with a Child Nutrition Program who has a question related to serving healthy food.
