For moms needing a convenient place to drop off donor milk in southwest Fort Worth, the 2nd floor postpartum unit at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
At Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas, we want to make donating milk as hassle free as possible. After all, our donors are busy being moms and time is precious. Drop-off locations, we call "depots," have been established throughout North Texas, as far west as Lubbock and in 4 other states. Geographically accessible, depots are located in hospitals, medical clinics and lactation support centers. Equipped with freezers, milk is safely stored before being transported to the milk bank for pasteurization, processing and dispensing. To see a list of our 38 depot locations, click here.
One of the first donors to deliver milk to Texas Health Southwest, Amanda Pepper, explains how she became a donor, “A friend told me about milk donation. I thought it sounded like an awesome way to bless families in need, so I signed up.” Teri Wheat, RN, IBCLC, a lactation consultant for Texas Health Southwest, says, “Offering a user-friendly location for moms to drop off milk in southwest Fort Worth enables our facility to further support our local community and the sick babies who thrive on donor milk.” To learn more about milk donation and Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas, click here.
