Eats on Feets is a worldwide volunteer-run network that facilitates platforms for parents, caretakers, and professionals who have made the informed choice to share or support the sharing of human milk. Chapters on Facebook and this forum provide a commerce-free space where families can offer or request breastmilk in an ethical manner. Our website and our extensive database provide the information to do so safely.

"Hey, why don't we just become wet-nurses; instead of Meals on Wheels, we can call ourselves Eats on Feets."
Shell Walker Luttrell, 1991.
​
These words are at the foundation of the Eats on Feets network. (Meals on Wheels is a network of 5,000 community-based programs across the United States that address senior hunger and isolation.)
​
In July of 2010, Shell, retired LM, CPM, started the original Eats on Feets Facebook Chapter for her community in Arizona. Remembering her words from 1991, she thought that Eats on Feets would be a fun and lighthearted name for a page dedicated to bringing human milk to babies in need. In October of 2010, the idea caught on, and a network of multiple chapters was created.​​
