California's Donor Milk Law Creates Need for More Milk Donors as Demand Surges 30%

The Mothers' Milk Bank

Six months after California's groundbreaking Assembly Bill 3059 expanded insurance coverage and hospital access to life-saving donor milk, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is facing a 30% surge in demand, leaving vulnerable newborns at risk of going without this essential nutrition. Mothers’ Milk Bank California is urging eligible nursing mothers to donate and help meet the growing needs of medically fragile newborns across the state. AB3059, also known as the Human Milk Bill, mandates commercial insurance coverage for medically necessary pasteurized donor human milk, treating it as an essential health benefit. It also clarifies that hospitals do not need a tissue bank license to distribute milk from a licensed tissue bank, eliminating a key barrier to access. While this legislation represents a tremendous victory for vulnerable infants and their families by making life-saving donor milk more accessible and affordable, it has created an unprecedented surge in demand that is straining the current supply. The expanded insurance coverage means more families can now access donor milk for their medically fragile babies, but the donor base has not kept pace with the new surge in demand for human milk. Without additional donors, wait times for families may increase, and some infants who desperately need donor milk may face delays in receiving this vital nutrition. The success of AB3059 depends not only on policy change but on community action. Eligible mothers can help bridge this supply gap to try to ensure every baby who needs donor milk can receive it without delay. “This is a breakthrough in equitable neonatal care,” said Jennifer Benito, CEO of Mothers’ Milk Bank California. “But we need the public’s help to meet the rising demand to try to ensure that every baby receives this lifesaving nourishment.” In 2023, California recorded over 36,000 preterm births, and many of these fragile infants relied on donor milk to thrive. Now, use of donor milk is increasing not only in NICUs but also in Well Baby and Postpartum units, where emerging research shows it may reduce feeding complications, support gut health, and lower the risk of hospital readmissions, even for full-term newborns. “We’ve normalized blood donation as a vital act of generosity. It’s time we do the same for breast milk,” said Benito. “Because of AB3059, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is seeing a dramatic 30% increase in demand for donor milk—a spike we believe is directly tied to expanded insurance coverage and the removal of the tissue bank license requirement for hospitals. Every ounce donated can mean the difference between stability and struggle for a newborn.” New Ways to Donate: Easier Than Ever To meet this moment, Mothers’ Milk Bank California is expanding access and support for donors with multiple convenient options: Saturday Donor Screening Appointments Now Available To better support busy families, Mothers’ Milk Bank California now offers virtual donor screenings on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Prospective donors can schedule an appointment by visiting our website or calling 1-877-375-6645 (option 3). At-Home Milk Pick-Up: June 23 – August 15, 2025 Donating milk is now as simple as opening your front door. From Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, eligible donors in San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Alameda Counties can schedule doorstep milk pick-up. Need help with packing? We’ve got you covered—just mention it when confirming your pickup. Drop-Off at Our San Jose Headquarters or Collection Centers Mothers’ Milk Bank California–approved donors can schedule an appointment to deliver milk directly to our headquarters in San Jose, California.

Dawn Maloney, renowned professional makeup artist and educator, is proud to announce the release of her groundbreaking book, THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK. This comprehensive guide introduces an innovative anatomical makeup technique that categorizes and identifies facial features based on shape patterns. With this new approach, makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts will learn how to tailor their makeup techniques to individual face structures, achieving symmetry and balance like never before. Have you ever tried to replicate a makeup look seen in a social media tutorial, only to be disappointed by the unflattering result? The reason often lies in facial anatomy—what works for one person may not work for you. THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK solves this problem by helping readers understand their unique facial structure and how to enhance it with precision. Based on Dawn Maloney’s extensive experience as a national television makeup artist and educator, this book reveals a cutting-edge, patent-pending anatomical makeup methodology. Dawn’s career working with diverse faces on popular 90s TV talk shows like The Maury Povich Show and The Sally Jesse Raphael Show honed her ability to quickly assess and work with individuals from all walks of life, each with different anatomical facial features. Through this, she began identifying consistent anatomical patterns that require specific application techniques to achieve natural-looking symmetry. THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK offers an in-depth exploration of 32 eye shapes, 36 lip shapes, and 50 face shapes, resulting in a staggering 57,600 possible combinations. Through hand-drawn illustrations and detailed descriptions, readers can easily identify their unique features and learn the best makeup techniques to enhance their natural beauty. Dawn explains, “I am deeply passionate about making each person feel and look their best. I started tracking face shape patterns to ensure flawless symmetry through natural-looking makeup. My technique is rooted in understanding facial proportions and working with them—not just chasing the latest makeup trends. Once you can identify facial shapes, you’ll be able to master makeup techniques that deliver consistent, beautiful results on anyone.” In addition to the comprehensive facial shape identification system, the book includes expert makeup application directions with product recommendations, and 50 face-coloring charts, providing readers with the tools they need to practice and perfect their skills. This makes THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK the ideal resource for makeup artists, professionals in the face aesthetics industry, and beauty enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of makeup application. This revolutionary manual represents the most detailed and scientifically informed approach to makeup artistry today, combining years of meticulous study and observation to create a truly unique resource. THE MAKEUP ARTIST’S DESIGN BOOK is available for purchase on Amazon, and the author's website at www.makeupclasses.com. About Dawn Maloney: Dawn Maloney is a professional makeup artist and educator with over 29 years of experience, specializing in personalized makeup application techniques based on the science of facial proportions.

New Alvarez & Marsal Report on Tariff Impact Highlights the Imperative for Companies to Use Current Turmoil as License to Radically Improve Operations

Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group

Apparent calm masks deeper volatility – inaction now is high risk Delay will show up in future quarterly reporting Quantify total tariff exposure and identify equivalent cost cutting opportunities This moment of crisis should not be wasted The Consumer and Retail Group of Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M CRG) today released a special report, Tariffs & Turmoil – Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste, which urges retailers to take bold, immediate action as global trade policies shift and economic pressures mount. The report challenges companies to break free from “wait-and-see” or “wing it” paralysis and seize the current disruption as a strategic reset. “We are in a false moment of calm, but July 9th is right around the corner. While the latest quarterly results may not yet show the impact, companies that fail to act now will see tariffs hit hard in the quarters ahead,” said Joanna Rangarajan, Managing Director in Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group and co-author of the study. “They should be looking to identify every opportunity to improve and fortify operations, as those who successfully came out of Covid did.” Co-author Michael Prendergast, Managing Director in Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group, noted: “What we are seeing is a shell-shocked level of inactivity. Companies need to use this tariff crisis as an opportunity to do the hard work of getting their SG&A numbers down by 15 to 20 percent. Looking at pricing, reaching out to vendor bases and shifting country of origin are no longer enough. This is the perfect moment for management teams to refocus on optimizing their inventory, speeding up calendaring, and ultimately assessing their total cost of tariffs so that they can work toward an equivalent level of budgetary savings.” The report lays out nine areas in which retail companies should be focusing to navigate tariff twists and turns successfully, including: Relentlessly reduce costs across the entire organization Fuel innovation and growth initiatives that differentiate Double down on product winners that drive value Price intelligently to spark demand without sacrificing margin Adopt a fast fashion calendar mindset to increase agility Make decisions at lightning speed – favor action over perfection Reshape sourcing strategy for flexibility and long-term advantage Optimize supply chains for efficiency and responsiveness Establish a cross-functional command center with clear accountability To download a pdf of Tariffs & Turmoil – Never Let a Good Crisis Go To Waste, please visit: https://alvarezandmarsal-crg.com/insight/tariffs-turmoil-never-let-a-good-crisis-go-to-waste/ The Alvarez and Marsal Consumer and Retail Group (CRG) is a management consulting firm that tackles the most complex challenges and advances its clients, people, and communities towards their maximum potential.
