Maternity Donation Drive & Donation Drop off at Logan Street Market
1001 Logan Street Market Louisville, KY
While we’re no longer onsite every second Sunday, smaller donation items can still be placed in our donation boxes by the sidewalk entrance door.
Our goal is to supply 10 families with their entire nursery (crib, diaper station, & chair), plus their choice between a bassinet or pack-and-play!
Although we’re no longer present every second Sunday, your GBI crew continues to support the community by maintaining our donation box at Logan Street Market and coordinating pick-ups of large maternity items when needed.
Our Maternity Donation Drive focuses on the major items needed for the baby to return home from CPS or prevent them from even going! Diaper stations, cribs, and rocking chairs in mint condition can be dropped off. Please ensure all pieces are in a zip-lock bag. A picture of the item together is greatly appreciated.

Bottle of Love
BOL is our visionary program with the goal support birthing dyads that have been separated by transporting milk to be delivered to their baby. Our Milk Bank accepts, processes, and distributes Human Pasteurized Donor Milk (breastmilk). Every infant deserves a healthy start. Breastmilk is a proven holistic weapon against infant mortality.
Milk-producing bodies deserve to have ways to express milk for their own health benefits. Providing pumps to do so will avoid engorgement and mastitis.
This program also serves as a mentorship. As we service those in need, upcoming lactation consultants and educators can obtain the observed contact hours & experience needed to become certified perinatal health professionals.
It is our goal to partner with institutions to encourage lactating people that are incarcerated or separated to express and deliver their milk to their infants.
