Fueled by Chocolate Milk Fundraising 2023
We are Fueled by Chocolate Milk: Achieving this goal will ensure we are able to manage our core programming for the upcoming year. Fully funded by our community.
Are you Fueled by Chocolate Milk? Donate to our Fueled by Chocolate Milk fundraiser and help us maintain our core programming as we enter into 2024.
We will be using this fundraiser to track donations from our Virtual Fundraiser event through the end of the year.
Thanks to our Chocolate Chips Initiative participants; we have used their responses to the below sentence to outline some of our donation tiers.
Attending Chocolate Milk Cafe meetings makes me feel. . .
Seen: Many of our participants have expressed how participating in our sacred space has led to them feeling seen as they partake on the journey to provide their babies with human milk.
Heard: As mostly Black femme presenting people, feeling heard is often uncommon for members of our community. We love having a space where many can feel and be heard.
Supported: Our direct mission is rooted in offering peer-led lactation support. It is important that we curate a space where one can give, as well as receive support from those within their community.
Empowered: Nothing makes the journey more manageable than when the lactating person feels empowered enough to continue.
Transformed: Growing and evolving into the person our children need, ensures we make the right choices for our family.
Connected: Having a connection to our community roots us in our ancestral way of living; allowing us the ability to not feel alone.
We hope that you can relate to these responses and donate according to the tier you feel most aligned with.
As an Advocate for Human Milk feeding in the Black community, we hope you feel inspired to ensure more families can feel the way many families within our organization have expressed what attending our meetings have been like for them.
