DONATE MILK
Milk donors are healthy women who have delivered a baby within the past year and who are currently breastfeeding or pumping their milk. Donor moms are asked to donate at least 4,500 ml (150 ounces).
We recognize our donor moms make a big commitment by signing up to donate their excess milk to sick and fragile babies. As a charitable organization, it is also a big commitment and financial investment on our part. We never want donation to be a burden and understand that life events can interfere with the ability to donate, but we ask that by signing up to donate and completing the screening process, our donors are sincere in their desire to give milk to help those babies who need it most.
How to Donate:
Donating your milk can have a huge impact.
