Our Mission
Ventura Coast Milk Bank is dedicated to improving public health through accessible breastfeeding education and distribution of pasteurized donor breast milk to infants with a medical need.
Based out of Ventura, CA with plans to serve Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles counties, Ventura Coast Milk Bank will collect, screen, pasteurize, and distribute donor human milk. Our mission is to educate the public on the benefits of breastfeeding and increasing the amount of donor milk available for medically fragile infants in our community.
