Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas and Diana Health Open Milk Donation Site
The Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas and Diana Health have partnered to launch a new milk drop-off depot located at the Diana Health office in Allen.
New Donation Capabilities in Allen
The new facility, functioning as a specialized milk drop-off depot, allows local donors to contribute expressed breast milk directly to the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas. This partnership expands the geographic reach of milk collection services within the North Texas region, providing a convenient location for breastfeeding mothers to support neonatal nutrition.
The site at the Diana Health office in Allen is designed to facilitate the safe and efficient collection of milk donations. These donations are essential for supporting infants in need, particularly those in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who cannot receive breast milk through standard means.
How the Milk Drop-Off Depot Functions
Donors utilizing the Allen site can deliver expressed milk according to established safety protocols. The process ensures that all donated milk meets the rigorous standards required for human milk banking, including specific temperature controls and handling procedures.
- Location: Diana Health office, Allen, Texas

By establishing this depot, the organizations aim to increase the available supply of donor milk for vulnerable infants. The expansion of drop-off locations is a strategic move to lower the barriers for donors and ensure a steady pipeline of nutritional resources for healthcare providers in the area.
