At Next Level, our mission is to love Jesus, love people, and make a difference. We believe that Jesus’ love has changed us for the better and we want to share His love with others. To help us do that, we partner with various organizations in the community.
3,000 Peninsula women will have an unplanned pregnancy this year and half will end in abortion. Care Net Peninsula exists to provide practical help and hope in Jesus to women facing difficult pregnancy decisions on the Virginia Peninsula. Their goal is to reach women and families facing unplanned pregnancy who are strongly considering abortion. At their centers, they offer a safe place for women to explore their options and receive accurate medical information. Care Net believes that when women receive practical help and hope through their services that they will make a life-affirming pregnancy decision. To help, Care Net provides options counseling, ultrasounds, and parenting support to women facing an unplanned pregnancy. When pregnant women have the help and hope they need, they choose life for their baby!
For the month of February, we are partnering with Care Net to help them raise funds by running a Bottles4Life campaign. Here’s how it works:
- Grab a baby bottle (or 2!) from Next Level on a Sunday
- Fill it with change, cash, or checks throughout the month
- Bring it back to Next Level by Sunday, March 2
You can also participate virtually by giving online. Click the button and make sure to select the Make a Difference fund.
Our goal is to raise $2,000 for Care Net. All funds raised support women facing unplanned pregnancies by helping to provide the following services free of charge:
- Pregnancy Testing
- Ultrasounds
- Options Counseling
- Parenting Education
- Adoption and Medical Referrals
- Material Support for Mom and Baby
Together we can make a difference in the lives of women facing an unplanned pregnancy. For more information about Care Net and what they do, visit www.cnpeninsula.org

Ongoing Partnerships
THRIVE is committed to assisting peninsula individuals and families through difficult times. They provide emergency financial aid to those who are facing eviction or utility cut-offs. But THRIVE’s aid goes beyond just paying a bill. They desire to see their clients become financially independent. To help people accomplish this, THRIVE offers financial coaching free of charge and every person seeking assistance from THRIVE must meet with a financial coach at least once. In addition to assisting financially, THRIVE offers emergency food assistance through their food pantry.
Because of your generosity, we are able to financially support THRIVE on a monthly basis. Visit https://www.thrivepeninsula.org/ to learn more about THRIVE and how you can get involved.
