Sister Joan started the Milk Run back in 1992 and the program has been running every 2 weeks ever since. It delivers milk formula to mom’s who can not breast feed because they are HIV positive or for other reasons. The babies are entitled to 1 box of baby milk formula every 2 weeks until their 1st birthday. Some continue past that point – our oldest recipient is a 27 year old, severely handicapped girl.
The Milk Run events start every 2nd Friday at 7 am in Rang Moo community of Klong Toei slum. We finish by 10:30 am. This is a Google Maps link to where we meet at: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RCYSXM2dBkjPBF1g6
