Sometimes trying to make a positive change in<br />
the world is daunting. It can be difficult to know<br />
where to start. Thankfully, there are ways to give<br />
back just by shopping locally. Located in Midtown<br />
Village, Fab’rik (pronounced “fabric”) is one of the<br />
newest boutiques to come to the Tuscaloosa area.<br />
The brand also has two locations in the Birmingham<br />
area. Priced competitively to nearby boutiques,<br />
Fab’rik donates part of its proceeds to two worthy<br />
causes: Asher Babies and Free Fab’rik.<br />
Asher Babies, named after the Fab’rik CEO’s<br />
adopted daughter from Africa, provides funding<br />
in countries across Africa for abandoned children,<br />
many of whom are developmentally or physically<br />
disabled. Every Fab’rik store sponsors a different<br />
child, and when an article of clothing from their<br />
Asher collection is sold, a portion of the proceeds<br />
is sent to care for that child and aid in adoption<br />
efforts. The Tuscaloosa Fab’rik boutique sponsors<br />
a toddler named Tabitha, and a picture of her is<br />
available at the store.<br />
