Default The day-to-day details of milk donation?

I always pump between 11 and 12 at night and usually get 10 oz. then. It is
a great time for me since DD has usually been asleep for 4 hours and will be
asleep for at least 5-6 more! I've never heard of milk donation here, I
wouldn't know where to look! I do use the milk I pump at night to mix with
her baby cereal the next day and the remainder I freeze.

I have contacted the Vancouver Milk Bank and they are interested in me
becoming a milk donor. I will become one if I pass the health
requirement (I don't see why not) and figure out the physical logistics
of getting my milk to them (I'm 3 hours from Vancouver).

I guess I would like to know more about the logistics of extra pumping.
When did you pump? How often did you pump? Did you pump while nursing?
Did you keep any for your baby as a freezer stash? How did you handle
growth spurts? Things like that.

Any information would be appreciated. :-)
