Your Breast Milk Donation to HELPINGHANDS Milk Bank is Unique in 3 Ways


You help save babies lives 1. You help save babies' lives
We collect excess breast milk to help save the lives of babies who are in the neonatal intensive care unit. Breast milk has been proven far more beneficial than formula or cow's milk. A donation of your excess breast milk will be used to make nutritional products made by Prolacta Bioscience® from 100% human milk, which can have a significant impact on the lives of these infants and their families.

Your extra breast milk helps very low birth weight premature babies and Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, and in return, Prolacta can help you by reimbursing up to $300 for your breast pump!!

Due to the great response we received from our milk donors, Prolacta was able to supply needed nutritional products to even more very low birth weight, premature babies. We are pleased to announce that Prolacta has decided to offer a new breast pump reimbursement program through June 30, 2012! Your breast milk donation has always helped very low birth weight babies receive the nutrition they need, but now it can also help you recover the cost of your breast pump. Additionally, for every ounce of qualified milk received, Prolacta will donate $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®!

We truly appreciate the commitment our mothers make by donating their extra breast milk. Prolacta’s policy has been to cover the costs associated with milk donation, which includes testing, breast milk storage bags, and shipping. We have also supplied a breast pump in the past; however, we found out that many of our moms already had a breast pump. That is why Prolacta is offering the opportunity for our generous moms to get reimbursed for the cost of their breast pump (a value up to $300)!

Terms and Conditions Apply:
Donors must complete the application no later than June 30, 2012 and ship a minimum of 300 ounces within their initial qualification period (123 days from date of blood sample collection). Multiple shipments are acceptable. Applications can be accepted only after a mother has delivered her baby. If you are a previous donor that needs to requalify because your qualification period has ended, you must complete the requalification application no later than June 30, 2012 and ship a minimum of 300 ounces within the subsequent qualification period.

A milk receipt report is generated at the end of each month. You will receive your check 4-6 weeks after that report is received.

Milk volume will be as determined by Prolacta, in its sole discretion. Prolacta will weigh the milk using a calibrated scale, at the time and in the condition that it is received at Prolacta's facility, and calculate the volume based on measured weight, excluding any packaging materials, using Prolacta’s standard operating procedures.

Each donor can be eligible for only one reimbursement for donations made to any Prolacta-affiliated milk bank.

By providing your contact information, you not only begin the application process, but provide us with a way to follow-up with you should we have any questions regarding your application. Please review our prequalification guidelines and donation process pages. When you submit this form, you will continue to the on-line application.

You can expect to hear back from us within 5 days of submitting your application with detailed information regarding next steps.
