Milk to Spare? Consider Donating!

I have to admit I was initially very turned off by the thought of donating my milk. I'm not sure why, but I was. Then I learned more about what donated milk is used for: helping premature little babies! Who wouldn't want to get behind a cause like that?!

At one point I was very flush - with a huge stockpile in frozen storage and several days available in fresh supply. It never dawned on me to consider donation.

My stockpile was consumed very quickly upon returning to work, but if you are so lucky as to have milk to spare, do consider donating!
