We’re just 3 weeks away from Giving Tuesday! 💙

Our milk donor Princy and her little one shared milk with love, and your generosity can help that love reach even further. Each donation helps The New York Milk Bank pasteurize and distribute donor milk to hospitals caring for the most vulnerable infants.

Your gift helps us provide life-saving donor milk to fragile infants. Donate at https://nymilkbank.org/donate-money/

Step inside Mother Earth Baby / Curious Kidz in Oswego, one of our beautiful NYMB milk depots and a true gem for families! 💙

Owned by Lisa Emmons, this cheerful shop is filled with everything from cloth diaper covers and nursing essentials to Melissa & Doug toys, puzzles, and everyone’s favorite squishies. They’re even stocked for the holidays!

If you’re an approved NYMB donor in the Oswego area, this is a convenient spot to drop off your milk. Not yet a donor? Learn how to get started at www.nymilkbank.org.

With every ounce, NYMB milk donor Sidnee and her baby are giving fragile infants a stronger start in life.

Babies in the NICU who receive pasteurized donor milk are far less likely to develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening condition that primarily affects premature babies. Each ounce donated can mean the difference between life and loss.

Donating breast milk truly saves lives.

Did you know that milk depots make it easier for approved donors to share their milk with babies in need?

Pictured are Linda Stoiber, Megan Boring, and Laurie Ferrando from the G.L.O.W. Milk Depot and Baby Café, which serves families across Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming counties. Located inside the new YMCA/Rochester Regional Health building, they offer families a supportive and welcoming environment to learn, connect, and give back.

We’re so grateful for their partnership (and their Buffalo Bills spirit!) in helping expand access to safe, pasteurized donor milk for premature and medically fragile infants. Visit our website to see the full list of NYMB milk depots: www.nymilkbank.org/milk-depots

Thank you to Haley H. for sharing her story and these sweet photos of her baby, Carter, who spent a few days in the NICU. After seeing firsthand what NICU families go through, Haley decided to donate her extra milk — helping fragile infants get the nourishment they need to grow stronger.

Swipe to read her message about why she chose to give.

Our team works hard to make sure every hospital order arrives safely and on time. Here, Jos is fulfilling a large shipment of pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) destined for one of our partner hospitals. Each bottle is packed with care to ensure fragile and premature infants receive the life-saving nutrition they need.
