Free Consumer Education Materials for Your Community
The Federal Trade Commission works with churches, community groups and organizations to provide information that helps consumers protect themselves against scams and make wise buying decisions. You can distribute our resources during community events, church gatherings, conferences, workshops, family reunions...really, anywhere you desire!
The FTC offers brochures, booklets, hand fans, videos and other materials covering a wide array of consumer topics. Our materials are absolutely free of charge (including shipping) and you can order them by visiting our bulk order site: www.ftc.gov/bulkorder. Or, you can contact me at 202-326-2345 or llake@ftc.gov if you’d like me to order them for you – again, at no charge.
