Donate Extra Milk to Help Babies in Need

Do you have extra milk you’re not sure what to do with? Donating is a wonderful way to share your excess milk with infants in need. Donor milk often serves as a critical bridge, nourishing premature or medically fragile babies until their mother’s milk is available.

Milk Market is proud to partner with the Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies to accept approved milk donations. We facilitate safe storage, and transport of your milk to the Milk Bank, where it is pasteurized and distributed to babies in our community who need it most.
