In June 2022, thanks to support from Allegheny County DHS and corporate/foundation partners, our Beverly’s Babies division launched The Greater Pittsburgh Infant Formula Bank.
This is the region's first and only public formula bank network, designed as a bridge-based support service to help families struggling financially or find the formula to feed their babies.
The Greater Pittsburgh Infant Formula Bank is closed Wednesday December 18th to Monday January 6th. All locations will reopen on Tuesday January 7th, 2025.
Our F.E.E.D. acronym focuses on ensuring families have access to the infant formula they need, advocating for it, and educating them about all forms of infant feeding. We provide support for breastfeeding resources, lactation support, and education.
Why a Formula Bank Is Needed
We engage with partners, healthcare providers, social service agencies, retailers, benefit entities, insurance companies, and donors to advocate for families' needs. We work to close gaps in education and disparities and make the infant feeding journey equitable and accessible for families.
Our public banks are physically located in Allegheny and Westmoreland County. Â Our mobile unit, 'Babs' visits different communities on a monthly basis and serves as mobile bank.
All Greater Pittsburgh Infant Formula Bank visitors must agree to the terms and conditions set forth to utilize our services.

The Greater Pittsburgh Infant Formula Bank is a resource to support families in need of baby formula during a personal, situational, or financial emergency/crisis.
We have public sites throughout Allegheny and Westmoreland counties and we have a mobile unit. You can visit any of the public sites regardless of your physical location. See locations above.
The Greater Pittsburgh Infant Formula Bank (brick and mortar and mobile unit) operate as a network and follows the client (child) from the date of his/her first service to the first birthday. A family can visit any of the formula banks, but the client (child) can receive only 12 standard cans of infant formula or the liquid equivalent per year and no more than 1 standard can per visit. A visit is defined as 1 service within 24 hours.
Ex: If you visit McKeesport site and then a month later you visit Hilltop, the items you received at McKeesport are added to the items you receive at Hilltop.
The child can receive up to 12 standard cans of infant formula per year and no more than 1 standard can per visit (based on inventory available). A visit is defined as 1 service within a 24-hour period.
1 standard can (12.4 to 14.1 ounces) = 1 standard can
3 Ready to Feed Liquid = 1 standard can
1 large can (19.5+ ounces) = 2 standard cans
The Greater Pittsburgh Infant Formula Bank can provide you with information regarding the different types of formula but cannot provide any medical advice. Please consult your child’s pediatrician if you have any specific questions regarding switching formula or medical concerns.
