We are a 501c3 foundation supporting the passions of Amy Elizabeth Walker Shewbart

The Amy E. Shewbart Foundation, established to memorialize a young woman ...who loved children, her family and the Hawaiian Islands











About amy






Amy Shewbart loved being a mom to her only child, Zachary. She was a young, nursing mother who became one of the first to donate her excess breast milk to the Mother's Milk Bank at a time when no one had really heard of such a thing.


Early one morning as she prepared for her nursing shift at a local hospital, she died in her husband’s arms from an undetected heart defect. When the Milk Bank found out that Amy had died, they gave her husband all the milk she had donated. Even in death, Amy, in spirit, continued providing love and sustenance to her nine-month-old infant son who would never know his mother.

​

To honor her memory, the foundation was created in 2007 to further her caring spirit through charitable acts benefiting the youngest and most vulnerable - children. The foundation has honored Amy’s spirit, benefiting the Mothers’ Milk Bank of North Texas, providing love and sustenance to infants and children now, and for years to come.
