Tax Deductible Contributions...

Can’t give your time? NMC welcomes and appreciates all donations contributed to help keep our organization running. Our mission statement specifically seeks to reach mothers unlikely to nurse. For example, for only $30 you could provide an at-home lactation visit plus a one-month Lactina breast pump rental to a low-income mother without access to health insurance or lactation support.
