Why Donate Breastmilk?

Donating milk can make a life-saving impact for babies born every day. Even just one ounce of donor human milk can feed a premature baby for an entire day, saving that baby’s life.

Babies in hospital neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) depend on the life-saving nourishment of donor human milk when their own mothers’ milk is not available. It protects babies from illness and infection. Donor human milk is essential for any baby with a weakened immune system or special dietary needs. 

It's a gift that lasts a lifetime!
