RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) Thousands of premature babies and their families rely on the WakeMed Mothers Milk Bank.
The hospital s nonprofit supports 44 NICUs across the Southeast and is one of 26 milk banks in the nation with specialized accreditation.
The nonprofit is in need of support now as donations drop.
Coordinator Montana Wagner-Gillespie says the bank is dipping into reserves to help premature babies since donations from moms are waning. I think a lot of people doing school from home, they re busy all the time. A lot of people are overwhelmed and it s maybe not something that s on the forefront of their minds, the Milk Bank, but it s definitely something that s still needed, said Wagner-Gillespie.
