Donating Breastmilk

Is there any mamas in need of some breastmilk? I have over 100oz of frozen breastmilk that I would like to donate. I have looked into milk banks & it’s definitely a very long process to be approved as a doner! I will still do it but I wanted to see if I can donate directly to a mama in need first xx
