All babies benefit from human milk. But for medically vulnerable infants, human milk is even more critical. It can be lifesaving. When a mother’s own milk isn’t available, the next best option is pasteurized milk from carefully screened donors. Through our relationship with the Mid-Atlantic Mother’s Milk Bank, we are dedicated to providing safe human milk to all babies in need. As an official dispensary and depot site, the St. Luke’s Baby & Me Support Center in Bethlehem is able to accept and dispense donor milk to families in our community.

Donating milk can be a rewarding experience that positively impacts the health and well-being of the families in our region.
