Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Blood Banks, Health

Mission: Our mission is to provide donor milk to hospitalized critically ill babies in oklahoma and surrounding states to improve long-term health care outcomes in an era of high infant mortality. Oklahoma has one of the highest rates of preterm births in the nation, with one in seven babies born premature (~14%). The use of human milk, in lieu of other nutritional methods, greatly increases the survivability and development of these babies. Additional goals include educating mothers and the medical community about the superiority of mothers milk over alternative forms of nutrition for infants and young children.
