Got milk?


The Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas (one of only 11 U.S. donor banks certified by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America) supplied nearly 75,000 ounces of breast milk to local babies last year. How do they do it? Donations from moms like you!

Got milk? You may be able to donate unused breast milk from your freezer or fresh milk if you're still pumping. When talking to mothers who call to see if they can donate frozen milk, MMBNT volunteer Lysta Haynes adds, "Don't stop pumping! Call the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas!"

MMBNT makes it easy to deliver donated milk to their facility, with nine drop-off locations scattered throughout the Metroplex.

* MMBNT, Fort Worth
* Harris HEB, Bedford
* Dallas Co. Health and Human Services, Dallas
* Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas
* Presbyterian Plano Hospital, Plano
* Richardson Regional Medical Center, Richardson
* Denton Co. Health Department, Denton
* Outreach Health Services, Waxahachie

To be screened as a potential milk donor or to learn more about donor breast milk, visit the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas or call 817/810-0071.
