The Natural Products Foundation promotes new program

WASHINGTON The Natural Products Foundation on Thursday sent out an e-mail blast encouraging donations to its new program, called Health Match, “that allows companies who manufacture vitamins, supplements, nutrition bars, personal care items and other natural products to directly contribute these goods to clinics and organizations that help AIDS victims, cancer patients, the malnourished and many others.”

“The current economic climate has been extremely difficult for many people,” wrote Tracy Taylor, NPF executive director. “All over the country, healthcare programs for the disadvantaged are experiencing an increase in patients needing services and a decrease in funding, creating a huge material disparity in these already stressed programs.”

The Healthy Match program will connect companies willing to donate products and the healthcare programs that need them, Taylor said.
