New Depots in Maine and Massachusetts

2016 has been a banner year for depot openings for Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast! We now have a total of 14 depots in six states, up from just five depots in four states in early 2015. The most recent additions to the milk bank family opened on October 1 at Tree of Life Naturopathic and Midwifery Care in Yarmouth, Maine and on November 2 at South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth, Massachusetts.

It is always heartwarming to see how local families, community members, and press embrace and celebrate our depots.
