La Leche League (LLL) Columbia Evening is a mother to mother breastfeeding support group. We meet the third Tuesday of each month at 7pm. Our current location for the meetings is Rm 9 downstairs in St John Episcopal church on the corner of Holly and Wheat Sts in Columbia. We offer information, encouragement, and support to anyone who wants to breastfeed her baby. The meetings are free but you may become a member of LLL if you want to help in continuing our mission. The Accredited Leader for this group is Tammy and can be reached at (803)732-0675.
