Mothers' Milk Bank California has been a leader in milk donation for 50 years, collecting, processing, and distributing this life-saving resource to NICUs nationwide. You can make a difference! By donating breast milk, you're helping to give NICU babies the best possible chance at a healthy future. Join the Mothers' Milk Bank community and donate today!

We were thrilled to partner with Mothers' Milk Bank California to host the first known organized Milk Drive in San Francisco today. So far, we collected more than 1,500 oz of milk – and counting! Just two tablespoons of human milk can help a baby in need thrive and just one quarter of an ounce amounts to one feeding in the NICU. This milk will go to babies and family across the nation. We are grateful to all the donors who participated and those who stopped by to ask questions or to share their support in providing equitable care for all. Shout out to our Labor and Delivery team for their leadership!

Mothers' Milk Bank California set the standard for the collection, processing, and distribution of human milk and it celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year. I am delighted to have worked with this group since starting with HCA Healthcare two years ago.
Good Samaritan Hospital hosted a breast milk donation drive in partnership with Mothers’ Milk Bank in honor of National Breastfeeding Month. Community members contributed by bringing in frozen milk to donate. Mothers’ Milk Bank of California is a pioneering nonprofit dedicated to providing screened, donated human milk to vulnerable infants.
