Mission & Impact

Mothers’ Milk Bank of California is a pioneering nonprofit dedicated to providing screened, donated human milk to vulnerable infants. Since 1974, MMB California has collected, pasteurized, and distributed safe breast milk to hospitals and families nationwide. Our efforts have resulted in the distribution of 16 million ounces of human donor milk, enough to fill 7 swimming pools with this vital nutrient. Supported by a dedicated community of nearly 25,000 milk donors, MMB California supports thousands of families during their times of greatest need.
