Neighbor2Neighbor, a Kansas City-based organization that supports homeless and near-homeless folks, hosted its annual Christmas Eve breakfast Tuesday.
It also featured health screenings, thanks to a collaboration with the Philippine Nurses Association of Greater Kansas City and Kansas City World Outreach Lions Club.
Jake Weller/KSHB 41“It’s a group effort,” said Helen Hatz, the president of the Kansas City World Outreach Lions Club.
Babette Orlich volunteers with both the Lions Club and Philippine Nurses Association and echoes Hatz’s sentiment.
Jake Weller/KSHB 41“Collaboration with the community — that’s really important,” Orlich said. “Some of these people don’t want to go to a clinic or a doctor. So, if we show them that it’s as easy as taking your blood pressure and then knowing how you’re doing, that could be a precursor to something else.”
