This expansion will allow MMBAL to serve thousands more fragile infants annually while strengthening maternal health support statewide.

Our new facility will include:
🍼 Dedicated spaces for lactation support
🍼 Meeting space for community events
🍼 A brand new, bigger walk in freezer and pasteurization lab
🍼 Expanded outreach capacity for rural and under served communities

At a time when access to reproductive healthcare and lactation care remains limited across Alabama, this growth means more mothers receiving support and more donor milk reaching the premature and medically fragile infants who rely on it most.

🌍💜 Today, on World Human Milk Donation Day, we celebrate the incredible generosity of milk donors who help give vulnerable babies the nourishment they need to grow and thrive.

Every ounce donated can make a life-changing difference for infants in neonatal intensive care units and families facing unexpected challenges. We are deeply grateful to the selfless mothers who choose to share their milk and support babies they may never meet.
