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
Premature and medically fragile infants deserve all the support possible for a healthy outcome. If a newborn baby needs breast milk to thrive, 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
“Donor milk is an incredible gift to give to strangers navigating the health of their little one - we sent thankful thoughts to the donors every time we opened a bottle” - Emily M
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are 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. Our board and staff are committed to examine and address the inequities that exist within the field of human milk banking.
