Donating breastmilk?

Does anyone know where I can donate frozen breastmilk in SE Michigan? My DS has completely weened off of nursing and will not take a mixture of whole milk and breastmilk anymore. I have a pretty decent frozen supply that I would like to donate to a milk bank but there is not one that I can locate nearby.

I searched online and only seen places in Kalamazoo and in the UP... I plan to call the hospital where I delivered to see if they know of any places tomorrow, but I thought I would check here first to see if anyone knows.

Thanks for any help!

thanks. I tried paging her but I couldn't get her to respond. i did end up calling Bronson's in Kalamazoo and they do send you coolers to ship it. So thankful that they can do it that way, thanks for your info

Try and contact Courtenay Grabowski. She's a doula in MI and sent out this letter.
