Are you a breastfeeding mom with a healthy baby? Share your precious breastmilk with babies who need it by becoming a milk donor.
A milk bank screens, collects, processes and dispenses donated human milk as a community service, providing human milk to babies whose own mothers cannot supply the milk to meet their baby’s needs.
To become a donor in Portland, contact one of these drop-off sites:
- Portland Adventist Medical Center — 503-251-MAMA
- Providence St. Vincent’s Medical Center — 503-216-MILK
- Providence Newberg Medical Center — 503-537-1400
- You can also donate directly to the Mothers’ Milk Bank of Colorado or the Mothers’ Milk Bank of California.
And yes, Portland is working on it’s own milk bank, but they need your help. Check out Northwest Mothers Milk Bank to learn more.
