Our Hero Donors
make it all possible!
Mountain West Mothers’ Milk Bank (MWMMB) is a nonprofit organization, a 501(c)(3), established in 2014 by Utah clinicians who had a vision to better meet the needs of babies and their families in their own communities. MWMMB is a member of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA).
In 2021, our communities donated over 263,000 ounces to the Milk Bank. We then distributed over 200,000 ounces to hospitals, nurseries, and infants at home.
MWMMB has a goal at to all times maintain enough reserve donor milk to quickly fill any order of the 7 types of milk we provide. For this reason, we always want to keep a "cushion" of milk in storage over what we dispense.
