On Sept. 1, the Alabama Grocers Association, the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries, and the Alabama Food Manufacturers and Producers Association launch the “Buy Alabama’s Best” campaign, which encourages consumers to buy local for a cause.

Designed to inform and educate consumers on what products are made, produced, manufactured and/or headquartered in the state of Alabama, the campaign will simultaneously raise money Children’s of Alabama cancer research by donating a portion of the proceeds.

Throughout the month, retailers across Alabama will be supporting the campaign in their stores with Alabama product displays, ads, signage, special promotions and will sell Children’s of Alabama icons to support the fight to find a cure for pediatric cancer.

All consumers need to do is look for the “Buy Alabama’s Best” logo under products to ensure they are buying products made in Alabama that support the initiative.

“By supporting the local economy and purchasing products made in our state, folks can feel good about not only benefitting local industry but also helping to spread hope to Alabama families facing cancer,” said Emily Hornak, Community Development and Cause Marketing Manager at Children’s of Alabama. “We are so grateful to our community partners and the difference they are making through this campaign.”

To date, the campaign’s efforts have raised over a quarter of a million dollars.
