Northwest Mothers Milk Bank
Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and survival of the Pacific Northwest’s most vulnerable infants.
Bottom Line for Portland
NWMMB has been serving premature and medically complex infants in our community for 10 years. These babies deserve all the support possible for a healthy outcome, including life-saving donor milk . Parents who can’t breastfeed deserve fair and equitable access to donor milk. Donations to Give!Guide help us increase access to donor milk to babies who need it to survive and thrive.
Quote
“It was like suddenly I had all of these parents all around me who loved my baby as much as I did and could be there physically when I couldn't." - Kristen E.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
NWMMB is dedicated to serving all infants and families within our community whatever their race. ethnicity, gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or identity, age, education, disability, or socioeconomic status. As an allied health partner in maternal-child health, we have long seen the disparities in opportunities and outcomes along racial lines. We are committed to increasing access to donor milk and addressing the inequities that exist in the field of human milk banking.
