Love in Every Drop.
When a mother’s own milk is not available and formula isn’t the right fit, donor milk can be a gentle, trusted option. At UC Health Milk Bank, we believe every baby deserves access to safe, high-quality, pasteurized human milk. From donation to processing, we follow a rigorous, caring process to ensure every bottle meets the highest standards.
What is a Milk Bank?
Our mission to improve equitable access of donor milk is made possible by the generosity of our milk and financial donors. We urge you to consider supporting our milk bank if you are ever able to do so.
Your support drives our growth and helps ensure donor milk reaches more families who need it most. If you would like to make a voluntary(tax-deductible) contribution, please click here.
