Are you ready to donate your milk?

Once you have been assigned your donor number, we can accept your milk donation. Depending on where you live, we have four options to safely transport your milk to Northwest Mothers Milk Bank.
All milk donations are required to have an Illness, Medication and Travel Form. Find the form in the Useful Links below. If you, or someone in your household, has recently had a positive case of COVID-19 please call us for details on how to manage your donation. Additional information about human milk and COVID-19 can be found here.
