Mothers' Milk Bank at Austin

To meet a national health need by collecting, pasteurizing and distributing mother's Milk to infants. We dispense pasteurized Milk to hospital neonatal intensive care units and outpatient recipients. We provide Milk at a discount or free of charge to low and moderate income families. Mmba works with a plastics manufacturer to make bottles and caps for the processed Milk, and, in order to support functions of other non-profit Milk banks we sell bottles and caps to them.

Breastfeeding equity & education program aims to decrease health outcome disparities for black mothers and infants through breastfeeding education and support.

Charitable care program allows pasteurized donor human Milk (pdhm) to be dispensed to babies with a medical need despite insurance and other financial resources. The program has been expanded to include a bridge program for healthy breastfed babies whose mothers have suffered a medical or life interruption to their breastfeeding journey. The babies recieve up to two weeks of Milk while the mother either recovers or the family works out another infant feeding method. This program has also expanded to help medicaid-eligible familes with a breasfeeding goal to obtain a small volume of Milk charitably.
