SEKMCHD Partners with Oklahoma Mothers' Milk Bank to
Establish Milk Donor Drop-Off Site
SEK Multi-County Health Department is excited to partner with the Oklahoma Mothers' Milk Bank (OMMB) to open a breast milk donor drop-off site at our Iola, KS location! This partnership makes it easier for local families to donate life-saving breast milk to help babies in need.
How to Become a Donor
-
Call the Oklahoma Mothers' Milk Bank for a short phone screening to determine eligibility.
-
Once approved, follow the OMMB guidelines for milk storage and drop-off.
Breast Milk Donation Guidelines
-
No minimum or maximum donation per drop-off.
-
Donors are encouraged to commit 100 ounces before their baby turns one year old.
-
Milk should be previously frozen and stored in freezer bags or disposable containers.
-
Donor breast milk undergoes pasteurization and lab testing before being sent to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) in Kansas and beyond.
Eligible donors will receive drop-off instructions for any of our Anderson, Allen, Bourbon, or Woodson County locations.
For more details, visit Oklahoma Mothers' Milk Bank or contact your local SEKMCHD office.
