Brands On A Mission
We encourage supporters of ALF to learn about social enterprises that are employing people with disabilities or giving profits to their community, all while spreading major advocacy!
Potters Clay
Moira Peters, mom to Miles, started Potters Clay as a Down syndrome advocacy platform, disguised as an online pottery retails shop.
She makes absolutely stunning pieces that sale out regularly. She also designs fun, witty advocacy stickers that are worth looking at as well!

Lotte 321
This online boutique was started by Kylie Kaufman, aunt to Charlotte Keilty, and sells quality jewelry with 15% of profits going back to the DS community in Charlotte’s honor.
I have several pieces I wear regularly and consistently get compliments. I have also gifted earrings as teacher gifts, new mama gifts and Christmas presents! Keep Lotte 321 in mind when you need that next birthday gift for a friend!

Wonderfully Made Clothing
WMCC is boutique that employs women with disabilities and “creates custom designs for young ladies in sizes 8-10 who need a little more from their clothing that what most of the tween and ready to wear brands offer.” The store was born out of the desire to support Ruthie, the owners daughter, who has Down syndrome.
They take a portion of monthly profits from the store to put into the “Ruthie Edmonds Scholarship Endowment” at the University of Alabama. This endowment was created to promote secondary education opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities.
Wonderfully Made also offers Sensory friendly shopping appointments on Saturday mornings when the store is to the public.
