We recently welcomed Julia from Journey to Self Services for a training on perinatal mental health.

Julia is a therapist and the founder of Melanin Mass Moms, a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting and empowering moms of color across Massachusetts.

While our work focuses on providing safe donor human milk for babies and families in need, we know nourishment is just one part of a much bigger picture.

We left that training with a deeper understanding of the experiences many of the families we serve may be navigating, and how we can show up with greater awareness and care.

Thank you, Julia—we’re already looking forward to the next one. 💙

So fun to have Sarah, one of our incredible milk donors, stop by with the whole crew! 💙

Recognize the face? Sarah recently shared more about her experience donating milk with all three of her adorable kiddos — a remarkable journey spanning more than eight years!

Beaming! ✨💙

In her fifth year running the Boston Marathon for babies and families in need, she not only crushed those 26.2 miles but also surpassed her $10,000 goal, all while taking on whatever race-day weather (including some snow!) came her way.

Maureen, we’re so proud of you and so thankful for you.

And to everyone who supported her—thank you for helping bring comfort, care, and nourishment to babies who need it most.

Sharing is caring—and this cutie is already leading the way 💙

Introducing one of our tiniest (but mightiest!) milk donors. Together with his incredible mama, he's helping fill little bellies and fuel big milestones all across the Northeast.✨

It’s ✨💙

And for the fifth year in a row, Maureen is showing up.

Year after year, mile after mile — through early mornings, long runs, and everything in between — she keeps going for the babies and families who need us most.

She’s already reached her incredible $10,000 goal. And still, she runs. Because every extra mile, every extra dollar, means more support for the tiniest patients relying on donor milk to grow and thrive.

Maureen, we see you. And we are so grateful.

If you’re watching today, drop Maureen a note of encouragement. Let’s show up for her the way she shows up for so many others! 🎉✨🤘

“As first-time parents, you really don’t know what to expect. When our son Roman was born and started having feeding troubles, we didn’t know what was going on, but we knew that something wasn’t right. Donor milk was a lifeline in that moment.”
— Jen & Keith, recipient parents

Stories like this are one of the most powerful ways to raise awareness and help others understand the importance of donor milk—for babies and the people who love them.

We’re so grateful to Jen and Keith for sharing theirs. 💙

Every mile Maureen runs is for babies she may never meet, but who rely on support like hers. 💙

For the fifth year in a row, she’s taking on the Boston Marathon in support of Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast, helping provide the nourishment medically fragile and premature babies need to grow and thrive.

She’s already about 90% of the way to her goal. Let’s help her finish strong.

Your support turns generosity into nourishment—and nourishment into possibility. 👉 https://tinyurl.com/yxj4dnup ✨

This trio made our week. 💙

Some of you may recognize Mylah, who received donor milk during her time in the NICU.

Now she’s a big sister—and her family is giving back for the second time, donating milk to help other babies in need.

It’s a powerful reminder of how this community shows up for one another, again and again.

Thank you (x100) to this incredible family. ✨

“Losing our son Atlas was traumatic. But I don’t want his life to be reduced to that. We had precious moments we want to remember.”

After a long journey to become parents, Brianna and Anthony were so excited to meet their little boy. Then, at 22 weeks, everything changed.

In the months that followed, Brianna found a meaningful way to honor Atlas. She became a milk donor, helping other families in need.

Behind every bottle is a story like this. One rooted in love, generosity, and sometimes grief. It’s a powerful reminder that this work is about far more than milk.
