San Jose, CA (June 11, 2025) — As summer approaches, even with travel plans, family gatherings, and the summer hustle, parents can still make a meaningful and lasting impact. Mothers’ Milk Bank California is making it easier than ever to donate breast milk with free, flexible milk pick-up services and Saturday screening appointments designed to fit busy summer schedules.
From June 21 through August 15, 2025, residents of San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties can schedule contactless milk pick-ups right from their homes — Monday through Friday — so donors can give without missing a beat in their summer plans.
For those interested in becoming donors but unable to complete screenings during regular business hours, the Milk Bank now offers convenient Saturday Donor Screening Appointments, giving more families the opportunity to contribute on their own time.
