CHICAGO (CBS)– Tomorrow is “Giving Tuesday” and one organization is asking for a different kind of donation this holiday season.

Earlier this year, CBS 2 visited a breast milk bank looking for milk donations after a national shortage increased demand everywhere. The Mother’s Milk Bank of the Western Great Lakes says there is still a need.

The bank gives the donated supply to babies most vulnerable and in the NICU across Illinois and Wisconsin.

Those interested will go through a brief screening and blood test. If approved, they will be connected to the closest bank in their area.
