Like the babies we serve, Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas continues to grow and thrive. The success of 2014 certainly reflects the critical and continuous need for pasteurized donor human milk. However, many more factors must come together to help babies in need:
- Our amazing donor mothers who share the extra milk their own babies don't need and subsequently, save lives! We are always in awe of these generous women who pump, label, freeze and repeat. It isn't easy. It's selfless and beyond words.
- Our invaluable lab technicians who carefully, painstakingly and methodically process donor milk, making sure it is perfect and safe and ready for shipment.
Our dedicated staff who monitor the flow of milk from beginning to end. They unpack, input, document, evaluate, manage, organize, monitor, inspect, pack, ship, clean, deliver, create, answer phones, tour, educate and appreciate.
We see our mission in motion each day. Strolling by our lab window, we are reminded of the tiny lives who depend on us. It warms the heart and motivates us to improve, tweak, reach out, and be better, superior and exceptional. At MMBNT, we are looking forward to another year of that magical white stuff.
