All babies benefit from human milk. But for medically vulnerable infants, human milk is even more critical. It can be life saving. When a mother’s own milk isn’t available, the next best option is pasteurized milk from carefully screened donors. We are dedicated to providing safe human milk to all babies in need.
Mid-Atlantic Mothers’ Milk Bank is a non-profit milk bank that is proud to be part of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, the experts in human milk banking for more than 40 years.
Did you know we have drop offs the second Saturday of every month? It’s a great option for donors who can’t make it during our regular hours or for families swinging by on their Saturday shopping trips in the Strip District.
Not surprisingly, MAMMB has outgrown its 5,000 square foot lab space and needs to move to a larger facility to accommodate our growth. To do so, we are launching the One to Grow On campaign, which will allow us to relocate into a new facility in 2025 and provide space for MAMMB to process greater volumes.
With your support of this comprehensive campaign, we will help even more babies.
