The Babies Milk Fund Association operated in Louisville, Kentucky from July 1908 until 1918. This organization was created to study and cure the conditions which cause the large number of deaths among children under five years of age. They provided clean milk in sterilized bottles for a nominal fee to babies in low-income homes. They also ran educational classes, well-baby clinics and home nursing visits for sick children.
