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
Here are the posts from past events…
We had Vesna join the Milk Run again and we all had such a lovely time… May, Theresa, Michelle, Cynthia, Helen, Grace, Erez and I gave out 33 boxes of milk formula in Rang Moo and another 24 iin Suan Ooy we also distributed blankets, carriers and other baby items donated to the Milk Run project
As always, here are more photos…
Our biweekly Fri Milk Run took place this time on a Sat morning. We had a lovely surprise – three of our School Run project recipients came to help distribute the milk formula.
As always, we made stops in both Rang Moo and Suan Ooy communities. We gave out 25 boxes in the first neighborhood where we also registered 4 new babies! We gave another 22 boxes away in the second community. Here are the photos…
We had a Shannon Run this Fri as she took over the Milk Run and did it like a champion. I had to go to Immigration for my annual visa renewal so Shannon and the team did everything that needed to be done… and more!
We also had to use Shannon’s car for the Milk Run as Sister’s truck battery died this morning… I’ll get a new one installed before Fri so we can do the Rice Run shopping then.
We ended up giving 27 boxes of milk formula in Rang Moo and another 24 in Suan Ooy. We also distributed 7 or 8 large bags of clothing, 2 baby strollers and some toys. “Another success” as we like to say!…
We had a wonderful Milk Run this morning with many new volunteers and lots of smiling faces. We gave out tons of clothes and toys donated by Helen and other volunteers and served 30 boxes of milk formula in Rong Moo and another 22 boxes in Suan Ooy.
