Mother’s Milk Bank is a non-profit that collects and process and then distribute donor milk all across the country. A mother might have excess milk and they then donate that to Mother’s Milk Bank and they make sure that milk gets to babies who need it. They are partnered with hospitals and lactation consultants all over the Denver Metro area and across the country, they are one of the largest milk banks in the world. If you have extra milk, Mother’s Milk Bank would love to take any extra off your hands. Milk expires one year from when it was pumped as long as it's been in your freezer. To donate milk, the mother has to go through a screening process, there is also a infectious disease screening to make sure that milk is safe, then they pasteurize the milk.
