Reaching the Unreached...with YOU

Since 2008, core to our founding mission to serve mothers and babies in need has been the desire to spread love in the smallest ways. We embarked on this mission with these inspiring words:


In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.

~Mother Teresa

Original Love Bug Bundle, 2008

During the past four years, we have been blessed to receive your support in so many amazing ways, from dollars and diapers to encouragement and evangelism. Many of you have also offered your time, and we have been working hard to find the best way to take you up on your generous offer.



Because you are such a special part of Love Bug Bundles, we are announcing a new little program called "Reaching the Unreached." From time to time, we are blessed to receive unexpected donations. We want to ensure that these gifts go to someone who truly needs them. Each of you knows a parent in need, whether it is a sister or a cousin, a neighbor or a service person. We want to help YOU help that someone.

Here is your first opportunity to become involved with "Reaching the Unreached"...

First Chance Foundation: Comfort Packages

Today we would like to honor and thank the First Chance Foundation, which recently donated 9 Comfort Packages to help support the mission of Love Bug Bundles. First Chance Foundation is based in Bulverde, Texas and was created in 2006 to generate the financial resources to help fund children’s charities that are helping provide that first chance every single day. We are grateful to receive their support.

Because of the generosity of First Chance Foundation, we currently have 9 Comfort Packages (4 girl, 5 boy) and want to help YOU share YOUR love and support with someone YOU know. Each package contains a towel, washcloth, shampoo, conditioner, and soap, as well as other small toiletries or baby items. Let us know with a comment here, e-mail, or a post on Facebook. We will arrange to deliver the bundle to you in the greater Houston or San Antonio areas.

This program is about doing small things with love. Sometimes life is so busy that we think we cannot help someone in need. As a small volunteer-run organization, we have seen that even the smallest gift to a family in need makes a difference.

Thank you again for every way you have supported Love Bug Bundles in the past. We look forward to growing the "Reaching the Unreached" program with you.

A small selection of Mother Teresa's wisdom and grace:


If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. 

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go. 

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty. 

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action. 

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
