Celebrate National Breastfeeding Awareness Month With Us!
August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month — a time to recognize the vital role that breastfeeding plays in infant health and to support breastfeeding families across our communities. This month, we’re hosting a series of milk drives across California and Nevada to collect life-saving breast milk donations. Whether you’re a current donor, a new mom, or simply want to learn more, we invite you to participate in one of our events or join our virtual milk drive from anywhere!
Milk Drives Across Regions
We’re excited to host in-person milk drives in Northern California, Central Valley, Southern California, and Nevada. Join us to donate milk, connect with fellow parents, and support medically fragile infants in need.
