Helen Velazquez serves as the Engagement Coordinator for the Mothers' Milk Bank of the Western Great Lakes (WGL), where she is dedicated to educating and reaching out to the community. With a passion for spreading knowledge about the life-saving benefits of donor human milk, her role involves connecting with the community, sharing vital information, and inspiring others to support this essential cause.  

 

The Mothers' Milk Bank of the Western Great Lakes is on a mission to save tiny lives by collecting, pasteurizing, and dispensing donor human milk. They not only provide pasteurized donor human milk to premature and critically ill babies but also distributes donor milk to outpatients and offers support to donor families, including those who are donating after experiencing a loss.

Helen's work is driven by a deep commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of families and babies in need. She believes in the power of community and the incredible difference that donor human milk can make. Through her efforts, Helen is helping to build a network of support and compassion, ensuring that every baby has the best possible start in life.
