This week HOPE Austin volunteered at the Mother's Milk Bank in Austin. Here's what one of our members, Travis Pham, had to say about his experience:
While volunteering at the Mothers Milk Bank, my role was to label all of the bottles that had been pasteurized and cooled in the refrigerator. Once the bottles were labeled, it was stored in the freezer for further testing. By volunteering at the milk bank, I became aware of the well-coordinated system the Mothers Milk Bank Austin has in order to provide the safest and best quality breast milk to the newborns that need them. The experience from volunteering at the milk bank was very gratifying and educational. As a student volunteer, I was able to contribute to preventive care for babies. In fact, I was actually having hands-on experience in the preventive care of a population, which is part of my academic focus, public health. Additionally, the staff at Mothers Milk Bank Austin was very welcoming, and I can see myself in the near future volunteering there again.
