Every Drop Counts. We are not a milk bank yet! A milk bank can't happen without funding, we need your support. Make a financial donation, spread the word by buying a bumper sticker, donate time or resources.

 Our goals in 2022 are to:

  • Increase the community's knowledge of the important role that pasteurized human donor milk has in improving outcomes for preterm and medically fragile newborns, and that it is recommended as the next best thing to infants whose own mothers milk is unavailable.
  • Increase patient awareness of the option to donate excess supply and the process by which to do so.
  • Significantly increase the donations from our region to Rogers Hixon Ontario Human Milk Bank, part of Sinai Health in Toronto.
  • Track the volume of milk being donated from the region.
  • Collaborate and partner with community leaders to support families choosing to donate after a loss.
  • Facilitate research opportunities using human donor milk 


The Canadian Pediatric society has recognized the importance of developing more milk banks across Canada. As soon as we have met our fundraising goals we will be able to keep locally donated human donor milk here in our region, optimize the heath of the babies in our region and Ottawa will proudly be the home of Canada's 5th Milk Bank
