Show your support for moms everywhere. Donate to HMHB in honor of Mothers Day

Mothers are the place where love springs from the earth.  We honor mothers of all generations for your patience, kindness, and nurturing.  We pledge to work to make it easier for families to provide that nurturing support.

HMHB has several goals this year to do just that.

1.Public awareness of  best practices in maternity care.

2. Legislation that would protect and provide support for all mothers as they return to work through break time for pumping human milk for their infants.

3. Legislation that would provide access to care for breastfeeding moms to licensed professionals.

Show your support for these efforts in honor of your mother and mothers everywhere.

Breastfeeding, Mother Nature’s Masterpiece Art Show. The Winning Piece

posted on Aug 10, 2011 in Central Texas News, Current Efforts by

Thank you to Natasha Triplett and all the other artists who submitted amazing works of art for our 2o11 art show.  Our panel of judges deliberated for a while and ultimately decided that this was the winning piece.  This post doesn’t do the painting justice, please come by the Mother’s Milk Bank here in Austin to see for yourself.  Thanks again Austin for your support.  I for one, am honored to live amongst such great talent and creativity.

Tell us what you think.
