Your Financial Support Helps Babies and Families

Here are just some of the things your gift to The Milk Bank provides in order to make a difference:

  • Donor supplies & support to ensure a strong supply of safe donor milk for over 76 hospital units across the region
  • Care to over 1,000 families who need access to safe donor milk at home
  • A Medical Relief Fund, to ensure finances never dictate health outcomes for infants
  • Advocacy to expand insurance coverage for donor milk
  • Private skills groups for bereaved families and health care providers that teach skills to cope with stress and trauma
  • Additional locations to access safe donor milk and drop off donations

Will you make a gift to support babies born too sick, too small, or too soon?

Meet Rowan | “Our son, Rowan, arrived 10 weeks early, weighing just 2 pounds, 5 ounces. I first saw him through his isolette, just before he was transferred to a NICU far from me. In that brief moment, I could only touch his tiny, delicate nose.

His doctor explained that donor breast milk would be the safest option for Rowan until my own milk came in. I will never forget the relief I felt, knowing that donor milk could provide the nourishment he needed.

Today, Rowan is healthy, and we are fortunate enough to be able to donate our milk to other NICU babies. Rowan’s story is now part of something bigger, and we’re so grateful to be able to give back in this way.” – Paige
