The Limestone County Farmers Federation recently donated $100 to Children’s of Alabama, according to a press release.

The release said the federation wanted to support the Birmingham facility because it is used by many Limestone County families who have sick children.

In 2016 alone, Children’s of Alabama logged 1,587 medical visits by pediatric patients from Limestone County. In total last year, there were 676,484 patient visits to the hospital’s clinics with 15,784 patient admissions.

The fundraising effort was part of the Alabama Farmers Federation’s Commodity Producers Conference, which took place in Birmingham Aug. 3-5.
