The New York Milk Bank supports and serves LGBTQIA parents who are not able to provide breast milk for their babies. Although most of our recipients are premature infants in neonatal intensive care units, there are other reasons why an infant may need donor milk:

• Adopted, foster, or surrogate babies
• Insufficient milk supply
• Failing to thrive on formula
• Health risk of parent that prevents or interrupts breastfeeding

Since 2016, we dispensed 1 million ounces of milk to babies in need. This would not be possible without our generous donors and contributors over the years. Help us reach our next million ounces with financial support today! With financial support, we are able to save lives and provide breast milk to babies in need.

“Demand for breast milk is rising with formula in short supply, but the New York Milk Bank has also seen an increase in offers to donate.“
