Who can use the Donor Milk in Your Neighborhood program?
There are two ways to use this program: depots and dispensaries.
Depots are designed to be a handy drop-off for approved, pre-screened breast milk donors. Learn more about becoming a milk donor.
Dispensaries support families who have an immediate need for a limited amount of frozen, pasteurized donor milk to carry them through to the next step of their feeding plan.

A note about lactation support
When donor milk is being used as a supplement, it is important to pair it with lactation support so parents are able to meet their feeding goals. If you do not have lactation support in place, let us know and we will assist you in finding help in your area.
