Third Strand is a NonProfit (501c3) incorporated in the State of Texas, established to organize, collect and manage donations of Breast Milk being made directly to families in their times of need. Our primary focus is on healthy, nursing babies who have tragically lost a mother, and who do not qualify for charitable milk donations from any of the industry standard Milk Banks in operation.

 

The milk that is provided by Third Strand is distributed, free of charge, to families in accordance with our mission.


Third Strand originated in 2016, in Canyon, Texas, a small town in the Texas Panhandle. It is a small portion of a legacy left behind by Kalee Joy-Barton and the tremendous outpouring of love, support and generosity shown by mothers from across the country who donated their own breast milk to her son, Cru.
