Thank you for continuing the process of becoming a milk donor for The Milk Bank (TMB). You are joining a community of mothers who, like you, are dedicated to saving lives. We hope to make the process of donating as easy as possible.

This Donor Packet explains the next steps in the process and includes information that will be helpful as you complete the donor application process. The packet includes the following:

• Donor Consent Form: Please carefully review and sign

• Donor Medical History Questionnaire: Complete all forms and answer all questions to the best of your knowledge

• Health Care Provider Release Forms: Complete the top section of your provider form.

  • If you are submitting the Donor Packet online we will send them to your providers on your behalf.

  • If you are printing out the Donor Packet you can return the forms to us to deliver on your behalf, or you can send them directly to your providers via patient portal, fax, drop off, email, etc.

The buttons below allow you to complete the Donor Packet online or, if you prefer, you can download, print and mail the Donor Packet.

Donor Education:

• Blood Testing Information: Please read and retain for your information.

• Milk Collection & Storage Information: To protect the medically fragile infants we serve, please review to ensure you are following the recommended collection and storage techniques for milk donation.

• Medication & Lifestyle Guidelines: For reference only. Please contact TMB to discuss any medication or lifestyle changes while donating milk to TMB.

Once we receive your completed Donor Packet, we will contact you to make arrangements to have your blood drawn at a designated lab convenient to you. We can also ship a blood draw kit to you and make other arrangements. Once we have received your blood results, your file will be reviewed for approval. Finally, you will receive a unique donor number and TMB will be ready to accept your milk for processing.

Milk donations can be dropped at a local Milk Depot or we can make arrangements to ship or pick up your milk. (TMB covers all shipping costs.)

Do not hesitate to contact TMB if you have any questions. Thank you for your generosity!
