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.
