volunteer opportunities at the MMB
In the past 7 years, the Milk Bank has tripled the amount
of donor milk being processed and shipped to help infants in
need. This unprecedented growth has strained our physical
resources, and we are currently an expansion to increase the
size of our processing facility. Your financial support is
necessary to help us make it happen!
To make a financial contribution to the Milk Bank, please
send your tax-deductible donation to:
Mothers’ Milk Bank Building Fund
751 S. Bascom Ave.
San Jose, CA 95128
You can also help the Milk Bank by becoming a volunteer.
Volunteer opportunities at the Milk Bank include:
|
“Girlfriend” |
Volunteer by simply
passing out information about the Milk Bank to your
pregnant or nursing friends, people you meet in
childbirth class, the shopping mall, or anywhere you
think there is or will be a nursing mom. Just carry
some of our flyers wherever you go and be an
ambassador to the MMB. |
|
“Mother Hubbard Club” |
Volunteer to be a
collection point for other milk donors in your area.
Good for play groups or church groups that meet on a
regular bases. We can cover more ground if our
drivers can pick up from several donors at one
location. |
|
“Road Runners” |
Volunteer drivers to
pick up milk at Mother Hubbard sites, or at donors'
homes or work places, once a month. Great for those
of you who have to commute into the San Jose area.
Car insurance and DMV check required. |

“Generation M” |
Youth service groups
looking for community service hours (high school
students, scouts, churches, etc…) can sign up to
help with our once-a-month milk bottle round up or
special events.

|
“Honey Club” |
Office volunteers are
always needed during working hours and will have a
variety of tasks available and we promise to keep
you busy as a bee with our “honey do” list. |

"Internships" |
Internships are
available for college or high school senior students
who are interested in the fields of medicine or
microbiology. |
