Looking to donate your breastmilk? Find all the information you will need to do so on this page!
In partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank of Florida, we have now opened a mother’s milk donation site in Key West! You may be able to donate your breast milk to help a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit for premature infants, even if you do not live near Key West.
Why Donate Breastmilk?
Almost 10% of babies are born prematurely in Florida. Milk donors in excellent health provide life-saving milk to fragile infants across the state. Donor human milk (DHM) is dispensed by prescription only. The highest-priority recipients are premature and ill hospitalized infants.
We answer frequently asked questions here: Mothers' Milk Bank of Florida.
Milk Bank Location
The depot location for the Florida Keys is at the Florida Keys Healthy Start Coalition office in the Historic Gato building, 1100 Simonton Room 1, Key West, FL 33040. To arrange drop-off, please call 305-293-8424 or email our team. If you prefer, you may ship your milk to us in a provided cooler.
