CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. (WLFI) The city of Crawfordsville is launching Indiana s first fire department-run Milk Depot.
It s a site that allows mothers to donate their breast milk to other mothers and babies in need.
The need for breast milk supply in hospitals is ever-growing. For NICU babies, it can be a matter of life or death and that s why this initiative has been at the forefront for state and local leaders, especially in Crawfordsville.
