NorthernStar Mothers Milk Bank

I was fortunate enough to be able to donate breast milk to this organization and they couldn’t have been more helpful! Jessica helped me with the required paperwork and on the date of drop off she personally picked up from my car. Felt very VIP for doing a good deed. It was awesome! Will absolutely consider donating in the future and telling all my friends about it too!

$18.00 for 4 ounces of DONATED milk is a crime.

This company should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting.

I honestly just laughed at them on the phone when they called me to review my application and told me the price.

And the owner seems to think I can't afford it, its the principle of it.and it's pasteurized.

An amazing organization. The process to become a donor is very easy and they are always there if you have any questions. Highly recommend to anyone that has excess breastmilk to reach out to them!

Happy to be a donor! Staff are very responsive, kind and supportive of the journey to become a milk donor.

I’d never heard of a milk bank before becoming a mother- and because I have been super lucky (so far at least) and have a great supply, I wanted to donate if I could. The team here has been amazing at answering my many questions and has made the process of becoming a donor very easy. Very friendly and professional staff, and seems like a great organization. What a noble cause

Not only did NorthernStar help with feeding my newborn breast milk (which my baby loved), they also provided me with helpful resources and support in getting my supply back after it dried up due to an unexpected, emergency hospital stay with my baby. Everyone was so helpful and understanding. It was the hope I needed in time of crisis and I will be forever grateful for their expertise.

After a recent medical emergency and unexpected diagnosis, I was told I that I would no longer able to breastfeed my 8 week old son, while undergoing treatment.

I was aiming to keep him breastfed until 3 months old (or a little longer, if possible). This has now been made a possibility thanks to the wonderful staff at The NorthernStar Milk Bank. They were phenomenal to work with and so quick to get things organized and help us out.
A true lifesaver in our time of need. THANK YOU

Northern Star Mother's Milk Bank has been a saving grace for our family during a time of illness and need. We are so grateful that they exist as a safe source of breastmilk for babies and hope that in the future we will be in a position to help support this wonderful organization. In the meantime we are forever grateful to the organization, staff and donors for the support we have received during this difficult time.

Such an outstanding idea and an increcible staff. I dont think NorthernStar receives enough recognition as to the service they provide to women and their families.

I called for information on purchasing breast milk for my baby, the women started out by saying "it was very expensive and I probably couldn't afford it" it was incredibly rude. I could not believe a non profit would discourage people from buying from them, how do they expect to keep their services running? They should be more receptive to questions, no wonder Alberta has such a low rate of breast feeding, no one wants to give out information other than how much something costs rather than the process and the value to your baby's development! The women finally explained the process to me, next time don't assume the person calling can't afford it.
