New York-area moms, businesses and Israeli citizens are banding together to get breast milk from the United States to Israel.
More than 3,000 ounces of frozen breast milk were packed onto a Tel Aviv-bound El Al flight which left JFK Airport early Friday, according to Rachel Benador of Chelsea, a Jewish woman who spearheaded the donation effort.

“Obviously I can give money, which I did, but I said, ‘What can I do that the person next to me can’t? What do they really, really need? I said, ‘How many people out there can actually give milk?'” Elkisch said. NoMad mom Lauren Leibson Elkisch, 38, saw an Instagram post about Milk for Israel, and is now is sending 100 ounces of frozen breast milk to Milkify.
Most of the women who want to donate are in the tri-state area, said Milkify co-founder Pedro Silva. The company is shipping the donation materials to the women at cost. Private donations are the only way to help, since official breast-feeding organizations will only distribute milk that is vetted from women who undergo rigorous health screenings.
