WakeMed Mothers' Milk Bank

The Mothers' Milk Bank at WakeMed is a non-profit organization that has been screening donors, and collecting, processing and distributing human donor milk since 1992. 

It is one of only nine milk banks in the United States, is a member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, and distributes about 100,000 oz. of milk each year.

Milk Banking in America is on the rise because of the recognition of the many benefits of human milk, and trust in the safety of donor milk.  There has never been a documented disease or illness transmission through processed human milk. 

We are currently accepting new donors, dairy free donors, and premature donors.  

If you are interested in becoming a milk donor or wish to obtain milk, please contact the WakeMed Mothers' Milk Bank at 919-350-8599.   You may also email a program coordinator at suevans@wakemed.org
