We have donated through this site. It was an amazing experience. It's totally donation based so no money exchanges hands. There are mamas on the site who receive breastmilk for a lot of different reasons. Some tried to breastfeed but weren't sucessful, some just couldn't breastfeed, others are looking for milk for adopted or premature babies. Mamas can donate to a family long term or just unload a freezer stash on a one time deal. It's a pretty amazing thing to be a part of. I know that there are a few mothers on here who are involved and really passionate about it.
There is an event coming up at the end of the month in Dubai to celebrate World Milk Sharing Week 2012. I don't have the details but interested families can go and get more information and meet families who give and receive milk.
Thanks for sharing the link, Angel Joy. I wish more mothers knew about it.
