Over the past 18 years, with the support of our community, we have expanded our impact to serve babies in need across Texas and 22 other states,” said Kim Updegrove, Milk Bank’s executive director said in a news release. “We couldn’t save lives without the dedication of the mothers who donate their milk, the financial supporters who make sure that we have the resources to never turn someone away, and the volunteers who make our work possible.
