Why Donate?
For premature and medically fragile babies, donor human milk isn't just helpful, it's part of critical care. When a mother's own milk isn't available, pasteurized donor milk helps protect these tiny patients against serious complications like Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and supports healthy growth during the earliest, most vulnerable days of life.
Every ounce you donate here in Santa Ana goes to babies in NICUs across California who need it most. If you have more milk than your baby needs, you can turn that surplus into a lifeline for another family. Screening and shipping are always free, and a real person supports you at every step.

About MOMS
Based in Santa Ana, MOMS Collection Center is Orange County’s first Human Milk Collection Center. Our vision for this project is to offer a safe, convenient place for our local community to donate surplus breast milk. MOMS Collection Center opened in July 2023, and has been incredibly successful, becoming one of the top centers in our region. We understand the importance of breast feeding, also the struggles that can accompany it. Through our partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank, we are able to help those families in need. Since human breast milk is the preferred source of nutrition for medically fragile infants in NICUs, we realize that having such services available in our community is vital for donor and recipient alike. “We know it takes a village to support the nursing journey and we are excited to play a role in collecting donor milk for families and babies who need it most,” said Sarah O’Rourke, MOMS’s Chief Program Officer.
