Indiana Mothers' Milk Bank
The Indiana Mothers' Milk Bank, Inc. helps premature and sick infants by
connecting those in need of human milk with screened donor mothers. The milk
bank receives human milk from these donors, then pasteurizes, freezes and
distributes it. The milk bank is a community-based, community-supported entity that benefits
Indiana's babies and decreases health care expenditures. The not-for-profit milk bank is the first of its kind in Indiana and one of
only 10 in the United States.
Lactation Station at the 2008 Indiana State Fair
To celebrate Breastfeeding Awareness Month, the Indiana Mothers' Milk Bank
is once again providing Lactation Stations at the Indiana State Fair. Due to
the overwhelming success of the event in the past, the milk bank is operating
three stations throughout the fairgrounds for nursing mothers to have a
comfortable, private place to breastfeed. We are currently looking for
volunteers to help staff these stations. Volunteers receive free admission to
the fair, parking and a t-shirt. Please contact a member of the milk
bank if you are interested or COMPLETE AND RETURN THE VOLUNTEER SIGN UP
SHEET.
DONOR MILK SHORTAGE
Due to the overwhelming demand for pasteurized donor human milk from
hospitals in Indiana and throughout the Midwest, the Indiana Mothers' Milk Bank
is experiencing a shortage of donor milk and needs your help! Please contact a member of the milk bank
staff if you are interested in becoming a donor or go to the How to Donate page.
