This has been an exciting two weeks for Love Bug Bundles! We...
...acquired our first major corporate sponsor, Lansinoh
...began accepting online donations
...hosted our seventh community baby shower (at Spring Branch Family Development Center)
...(and today!) surpassed our 2009 goal of delivering 100 Love Bug Bundles to mothers in need
We have come a long way! In 2008, the inaugural year of the program, we primarily worked on setting goals, building relationships, and delivering a modest 100 essential baby items. Since March 2009, which marked our second year, we have partnered with Houston's Healthy Family Initiatives and the Community Doula Program to host monthly baby showers for young Houston-area mothers in need.
In the first six months of working with the Community Doula Program, we have delivered 112 Love Bug Bundles, exceeding our goal for the entire year in half the time! Our program has been funded entirely through private donations. We cannot thank our individual donors enough for their compassionate giving.
We are especially grateful for our recent corporate sponsorship from Lansinoh, which will allow us to include quality breastfeeding products in our bundles. Hopefully, this is just the beginning!
