At One Way Love, we believe in the power of community and the promise of second chances. That’s why we’re proud to partner with The Salvation Army and Delgado to support the Next Chapter Program, a unique initiative dedicated to empowering unhoused and housing-insecure adults and young adults in our region.
A Comprehensive Path to Stability and Success
Next Chapter stands as the only program in our area that prioritizes helping vulnerable individuals build secure and fulfilling futures through comprehensive professional workforce development. By investing in the potential of every participant, the program provides essential skills and resources necessary for lasting success. This includes:
A Story of Transformation: Joseph’s Journey
Joseph, the first participant to join the program, embodies the mission of Next Chapter. After experiencing severe instability in his early life, Joseph found hope and a home through The Salvation Army’s compassionate support and structured environment. The program provided him not just with a place to live but with the tools to envision and build a brighter future. As Joseph put it, “My little dorm room is my home.” His story is a testament to the life-changing impact of Next Chapter.
Your Support Fuels Change
Your contribution helps One Way Love and The Salvation Army turn the page for countless individuals like Joseph, breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors to stability and independence. Every donation supports vital programs that equip participants with skills, confidence, and the resources needed to succeed.
Join Us in Writing the Next Chapter
We need your help to continue this transformative work. By supporting Next Chapter, you’re not just giving a gift—you’re investing in dreams, empowering change, and helping people take the next step toward a secure future.
With your help, we can rewrite stories of hardship into stories of hope and opportunity.
Together, let’s turn the page to brighter, stronger tomorrows.
Help us let the marginalized in our community know that they are seen + loved + valued
Every teen we encounter has the weight of the world on their shoulders and a story that seems unbearable. Youth who are homeless or unable to safely remain in their homes can count on one way love to provide safe, comfortable, effective services. Learn more
The bravery to acknowledge those in pain, the fortitude to empathize with the sorrow of others, and the audacity to take action when others hesitate.
To be the people that youth can count on when everyone else has let them down.
Most of our teens are couch surfers; some live in parks, sheds, or anywhere they can find shelter. They’re all in school desiring better lives for themselves.
It's hard to think about school when you don't have the basics to live. We meet those needs all year through gift cards, food, clothing, and filled backpacks.
We work with school counselors to provide desperately needed mental wellness and mentoring relationships, restoring a sense of self and needed community.
Many single parents are struggling to make ends meet and to do the best they can for their kids. We're helping with food insecurity and utility assistance.
Fund a project, donate clothing and supplies, or be a monthly supporter.
Become a volunteer, let your time, your talents, and your attention through one of our programs.
Be a person that our youth can count on. Personal relationships are one of the greatest ways to give.

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”
