Host Jeremy Quinby has conversations with Director of Minnesota Breastmilk Bank, Linda Dech, Bereavement Donor Coordinator Alexis Nicklow, and donors McKenzie and Adam. Together they discuss how the breast milk donor organization was started and continues to be funded to serve the community. Linda takes Jeremy on a tour of the facility (see link to video in show notes) to show where milk is stored when it’s collected, the pasteurization process undergoes and the testing of milk. She also explains the importance of volunteer support to get milk to area hospitals for babies in need.

The Minnesota Milk Bank for Babies, a 501c3 nonprofit, is accredited by and a proud member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA).

Our mission is to improve infant health outcomes by ensuring that medically vulnerable babies in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest have access to safely pasteurized life-giving donor human milk when mother’s milk is unavailable or in low supply.
