Last month, our group volunteered at The Milk Bank again. We helped package bereavement materials to be sent out to birthing hospitals. Not pictured - Teri Penelton.
Thank you once more to all the wonderful women who helped.
On the day we volunteered, The Milk Bank asked if we would meet with them to discuss more opportunities to get involved with their mission. I met with Alicia for coffee today, and we are excited about the possibilities. I will be sharing more details with you soon. — with Kandice Franklin and 4 others.

Posted • Banks & I dropped off our first donation to today! Baby boy received donor milk in the NICU and I knew as soon as I realized I had an oversupply that we’d be donating whatever we could to help future NICU babies. Today we donated 272 ounces, which will provide up to 816 feedings and help save lives! Having an oversupply has been overwhelming but being able to pay it forward (or back?) is absolutely worth it 💙

Will never get tired of saying thank you to incredible pumping parents, families, and like these! ❤️❤️
