Barbara,
I want to thank you for your wonderful letter.  It is so true.  Anyone
who is interested should visit a milk bank and see how much work is
involved.  It is so important to have the wonderful volunteers who not
only donate the milk, but come in and help do the work needed to maintain
and provide a safe product to those in need.  Well done.
