Anyone know anything about donating BM?

So my LO can't take my BM due to milk protein intolerance.  He has been on alimentum since before 2 months.  I worked my behind off (had low supply) to get a freezer stash.  Well, I tried him on it again a couple of weeks ago now that he is a little older and had same problem as before.  So now I have a freezer full of BM that is 2-5 months old that is going to waste and that I pretty much killed myself pumping that LO can't even take.  Is it possible to donate it? Anyone know anything about this? If not, it is just going to go bad.

    If you have a La Leche League in your area I would contact the leader to donate it directly to someone.  If you go through a milk bank you have to do tons of blood work, applications, interview etc and they charge moms $$$$ to buy the BM.

    I donated about 2500 ounces through eats on feets in my area. I provided a copy of my bloodwork (with all personal data blacked out) if the mom I donated too asked, but few did. I was able to link up with Mom's in need through thier facebook page.

    Texas Children's has a large milk bank donation program. I'm not exactly sure of the requirements, but I know they will have you do basic infectious disease bloodwork prior to donating.
