Helping Families in Bowling Green, KY Access Safe & Supported Feeding Options
Because every family deserves access to compassionate, evidence-based feeding support — regardless of financial circumstances.
What Is the Feed + Nurture Assistance Program?
Community-Focused Feeding Support — Led by an IBCLC. The Feed + Nurture Assistance Program is the only initiative of its kind in Bowling Green, KY: an IBCLC-led, community-first resource providing breastfeeding and pumping supplies, and limited reduced-cost lactation services to families who qualify.
Our mission is simple: no parent should go without the tools and support they need to feed their baby with confidence.
Request Support
The below option, breast pumps are loaned (not donated) and shared with other families. A card on file helps us responsibly manage this equipment and keep the Feed + Nurture Program available to those who need it.
Nothing is charged, processed, or pending at any time.
The card would be used only if a loaned pump is not returned within 12 months or is returned in a non-functional or significantly damaged condition, as outlined in the agreement you’ll review and sign.
What return looks like (summary):
Pumps are returned within 12 months in good working condition (normal wear is expected)
Tubing is not returned for infection control
Flanges, inserts, and bottles are returned with the pump
If a pump is not returned or is unusable, a replacement fee (70% of the current Amazon retail price) may be charged to replace shared program equipment
We understand that life happens. If challenges arise around return timing, we encourage open communication — this program is built on good faith, dignity, and collaboration.
The below option applies to breastfeeding and pumping supplies such as bottles, storage containers, milk bags, nursing supplies, and other supportive items. Breast pumps, pump motors, flanges, and pump parts are not included in this category. No card on file is required.
You will still be asked to complete a brief intake and sign an agreement so we can responsibly distribute donated supplies and keep items in circulation for other families who need them. This helps ensure supplies are shared safely, fairly, and in alignment with program guidelines. Once your forms are submitted and reviewed, we’ll reach out directly with next steps.
