Human Milk Depot + Dispensary
Birth Center of Chicago is partnered with the Mother’s Milk Bank of Western Great Lakes. We work to serve families looking to donate milk by offering a convenient location for drop off as a Milk Depot that insures their precious ounces are securely and safely delivered to the milk bank for processing and redistribution.
We also provide small quantities of milk for sale as a Milk Dispensary to support families needing help through transistions.
