Mother’s Milk Bank in Dire Need of Donations
WakeMed Mother’s Milk Bank is in dire need of donations.
As one of only 11 not-for-profit milk banks in the U.S., the WakeMed Mother’s Milk Bank distributes more than 200,000 oz. of milk each year to premature babies in intensive care units primarily on the east coast.
The need for donor milk has been significantly increasing over the past couple of years, and milk banks across the country are struggling to keep up with demand. In fact, the WakeMed Mother’s Milk Bank has had to restrict sending milk to everyone except for only the sickest premature infants.
Become a donor today and help a premature baby grow and thrive.

Thank you for catching this error. It has been changed.
I have an 8 month old that I am nursing. Have a good milk supply and could provide about 6 extra ounces a day to donate. More information?
Can you donate if you live in a different state? I’m in GA.
Yes, Jami-
You can donate if you are in another state. the Milk Bank can send you coolers that you pack with ice and ship. The milk arrives frozen. The Milk Bank also pays for the shipping, so you do not incur that cost.
You can learn more about donation here. http://www.wakemed.org/body.cfm?id=1231
Thank you very much for your interest!
