The staff of the Mothers’ Milk Bank will contact her when her first shipment is approved. If the donor can deliver the frozen milk to our facility during business hours, we greatly appreciate the effort. The donor may also transport her milk to one of the many depots in California. If none of these methods are available, MMB will ship coolers and airbills to the donor’s residence when milk is ready to transport. Instructions on shipping and packing frozen milk will be included in the cooler. The frozen milk will be accepted Monday through Friday only. Do not ship milk for a Saturday or Sunday pick-up. The Mothers’ Milk Bank is closed for weekends and holidays. The frozen milk must not be older than 4 months in a regular home freezer or 6 months in a deep freeze. Any additional donations from an approved donor will be greatly appreciated. To request a cooler, call (408) 998-4550. It will take 2-3 days for the cooler to arrive.
