IN 2005, hospitals in 29 states were using milk processed in HMBANA milk banks.
Mothers Milk Bank of Ohio
The Milk Bank of Ohio screens and processes the milk donated to MMAW's milk depot. They provide human milk to those in need, particularly premature infants and babies who are failing to thrive or have life-threatening diseases or conditions.
Angel Flight Central
Angel Flight Central (AFC) is a volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to removing the burdens of arranging long-distance transportation at times of personal and community crisis. Angel Flight Central's volunteer pilots transport donor milk from MMAW's Milk Depot to the Mothers' Milk Bank of Ohio.
