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.
ECHO Family Care Partners works to care for isolated families to bring stability and connection and to eliminate the need for foster care interventions. One of the ways they do this is through their diaper distribution. 1 in 2 families are currently experiencing diaper need. This puts children at risk of severe health concerns, increased parental job insecurity, and contributes to housing, familial, and social instability. And state services rarely make provisions for diapers, but when they do, it’s often a forced choice between putting food on the table or buying diapers.
Each month ECHO distributes approximately 15,000 diapers to 150 children. Each child receives approximately a month’s worth of diapers. This program gives significant financial margin to families who are having to choose between food, rent, and clean diapers.
Our goal is to come alongside ECHO and do our part to help them meet this need in our community by donating 10,000 diapers.
Here’s how you can help make a difference:
Purchase diapers. They can be any size or brand!
Bring them to Next Level on a Sunday and drop them off in the lobby. You can also order them online and have them delivered to us. The last day to drop off pull ups is Sunday, June 1.
You can also sign up to help bundle these diapers on Monday, June 2 for distribution. Click below to sign up.
Together we can help ECHO make a difference in the lives of families in the 757!

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.
