The result is a new network called Eats on Feets
<http://www.eatsonfeets.org/>  - a play on Meals on Wheels - that uses
Facebook to connect women whose babies need supplemental breast milk to
women nearby who have extra milk to give away. Shell Walker, a midwife in
Phoenix, came up with the name and created the original page to facilitate
local matches. But Kwasnica, who had already made several matches via her
Informed Choice page, took the idea global, and in just a few weeks the
network has grown to 98 local groups, spanning all 50 states in the U.S. and
22 countries. More than 70 matches have been reported so far, with milk
coming not only in bags and jars, but also sometimes directly from the
source.
