Dear Milk Depot at 9th Street Wellness Center,
Thank you for helping us support Wisconsin and Illinois babies who need continued access to life-saving donor milk. Our lab staff is working seven days/week to process and pasteurize milk.
NOTE:
· There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 is transmitted through human milk, food containers, or food packaging (per CDC and FDA).
· The real risk of COVID-19 is a decrease in our milk supply, similar to blood shortages we are currently experiencing.
· Please notify the Milk Bank WGL with any service interruptions or changes in hours of operation.
· Please review the attached HMBANA statement on Milk Banking & COVID-19.
· Please review and distribute the attached COVID-19 Donor Education (if appropriate).
· Please share our social media posts to encourage increased milk donations.
· Stay healthy and safe! We appreciate you!
