About us

The Rotary Community Breast Milk Bank Charitable Trust Inc. is an initiative supported by the Rotary Clubs of Garden City, Christchurch, Papanui and Riccarton. We are very grateful to St George’s Hospital who have given us fabulous rooms for the milk bank situated on level one at St George’s Hospital and are very appreciative of all the support St George’s gives us.

Our aim is to work with midwives and women in the community to provide easily accessible donor breast milk to babies who need a short-term gift of donor milk. We hope to ensure that all babies in need can have access to pasteurised donor milk for at least the first six weeks of life, in the hope that this will support the mother to continue to exclusively breastfeed her baby for a longer duration.
