Mother’s Milk Bank Of Alabama (MMBAL) Donation Location Reopens

MOBILE, Ala. — This week, Infirmary Health reopened its MMBAL Donation Depot location on the campus of Mobile Infirmary. As a depot location, donors that have been approved by MMBAL can drop off their supply at Women’s Health Alliance of Mobile. The depot will be open Monday-Friday at 9 a.m.-2 p.m. To become volunteer donors, women will take part in MMBAL’s screening process to ensure the quality and safety of the milk. MMBAL is a nonprofit that collects, processes and facilitates the distribution of excess mothers’ milk to provide nourishment to sick or premature infants to help mothers unable to supply their own milk. The milk is processed at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama according to standards established by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America. Once processed, it is provided to more than 15 hospitals across Alabama, including Infirmary Health’s Mobile Infirmary, as well as in an outpatient setting.
