All pumping parents deserve safe, secure, and clean areas to pump as needed while at work. If you or your organization want to learn more about the PUMP Act and what protections it provides pumping moms, check our webinar Employer's Guide to Lactation Support: Pregnant Workers Fairness Act & The PUMP Act. You can find it at https://www.themilkbank.org/employer/

If you have a lactation space at work you'd like to spruce up, you can get our free Lactation Space Accessory Kit by visiting the same link! It provides helpful lactation items, resources, and information about The Milk Bank.

We're grateful to Krieg DeVault for supporting this program through 2025.

Investing in prenatal and postpartum care, education, and support is quite the return on investment. Long term success is build early.

🧠 What if we told you there's an investment with a 13.1% annual ROI that outperforms the S&P 500's 10, 20, and 30-year returns?

According to Nobel Prize-winning economist James Heckman's research featured in our new NHSA State Policymaker Report, high-quality early childhood programs like Head Start deliver exactly that return, while building stronger communities and reducing taxpayer burden.

The math is clear. Every dollar invested in Head Start generates returns through:
- Higher graduation rates
- Increased adult employment
- Reduced social service utilization
- Greater marital stability
- Stronger taxpaying abilities

📊 Fun fact: The earlier an investment is made, the higher the return. Programs serving children from prenatal to age 3 show the strongest ROI.
