Donor Milk Depot

Donor Milk Depot at Pen Bay Medical Center

Pen Bay Medical Center is a human milk depot (milk drop off site) for Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, a nonprofit human milk bank. A nonprofit milk bank collects breastmilk from mothers who have more than their babies need, then screens, pasteurizes, and tests the milk, after which it is dispensed primarily to premature and sick babies whose parents do not have enough milk for them.

Getting started with donating milk is an easy four-step process. Check out the basic guidelines here: Donate Breast Milk • Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast

The Milk Depot is located in the OB/GYN unit at 6 Glen Cove Drive in Rockport. The team at Pen Bay makes it convenient and easy for screened moms to donate. Simply schedule a drop-off by calling 207-301-8343 and ask to speak to the lactation consultant.
