“I give because I worked hard to collect the milk I donated, and I want to make sure that it makes its way to the babies that need it most. Which means that I need people to process it; people to deliver it; and people to raise awareness about it so that other women will donate milk, too. All that takes a lot of resources! I donate money to make sure that my initial time investment has the greatest impact it can.” – Caryn D., milk donor
At Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast our work is about so much more than milk. It’s about building families, futures, and hope. Whether it’s protecting the health of premature infants or supporting families on their breastfeeding journey, our commitment to safety, transparency, and the well-being of babies drives everything we do. But what inspires the incredible generosity of our financial donors?
Why I give – a note from our supporters . . .
Every milk donor, recipient, and friend of the milk bank, has a story that’s entirely their own. And more often than not, it’s these stories that inspire them to “give back,” “pay it forward,” and “honor a precious life.” Here, a few of our financial donors share the “why” behind their generosity . . .
“I used the milk bank in the first weeks of my daughter’s life. At the time, I was waiting for my own milk to come in. It was then that I told my daughter we’d find a way to repay this gift. As monthly donors, we’re so happy to have the opportunity to do exactly that.” – Molly S., donor milk recipient.
“Premature babies are extremely vulnerable. They need human milk to help protect them. In a hospital setting we can only rely on donor milk from a milk bank that ensures safety standards. Milk that comes from a milk bank such as Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast. This is what makes supporting an accredited non-profit milk bank like theirs so powerful. It’s here that the gift of milk, money, and time can save lives.” – Renee F., hospital based lactation consultant
“With parents in the maternal and child health field, I was born to support the work of Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast. As a proud father of three (including a set of twins), I am not only committed to the milk bank and its critical mission but also inspired by its leadership and essential growth trajectory — as is my extended family.” – Dave J., Esq
