Milk Bank
Open Door partners with The Milk Bank, a non-profit organization that collects and distributes donor breast milk to benefit premature and critically ill babies. After completing the registration process, donors can drop off their breast milk at the WIC locations at Open Door Downtown Muncie (333. S. Madison St.) or WIC - Anderson (777 Broadway St., Suite E.).
The Anderson location also serves as a “milk express” where families can access safe donor milk to bridge gaps in breastfeeding at home. To learn more, visit www.themilkbank.org or contact WIC in Delaware County at (765) 289-6180 or Madison County at (765) 646-9272.

Our patients have access to Community Health Workers, who can get you connected with a variety of community resources. We recognize that things like employment, housing, education, and utilities affect our overall health. By connecting patients with resources in these areas, we serve their whole-person health.
