We need your support now, please consider
helping… your gift will make great things happen.
Individuals and families that reside in the
urban core continue to experience striking
health disparities. Lacking is access to safe,
affordable fitness opportunities,
encouragement to practice healthy
lifestyles and access to accurate
information.
CCON works to eliminate these
barriers.
Since the onset of COVID-19, CCON has provided
thousands of breakfast and lunch meals to youth 18 and
under. In addition, CCON has provided groceries and
toiletry products to an estimated 1,000 families per month.
CCON connects the eastside faith community to access for
testing, vaccinating and other critical health services.
In the face of COVID-19 and the Delta Variant, CCON was
able this past year to coordinate and help implement the
Our Healthy KC Eastside Initiative, bringing together 18
churches as well as many community groups and
businesses to provide education, sites for vaccines, and
other support services where they are needed most.
CCON’S RESPONSE TO COVID19
Prior to COVID-19, CCON provided daily Exercise & Nutrition
opportunities in the state of the art, full-service fitness facility
located at 3002 Holmes Street. However, since the beginning
of the pandemic, CCON has been offering virtual exercise
programs and nutrition webinars. Also, the fitness facility has
been shifted from that of a health & wellness center to a food
distribution center. Over 80 community groups and
hundreds of volunteers help us to feed families reeling from
the pandemic.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
An early leader in the local fight against HIV/AIDS, CCON has
an outstanding reputation in our community responding to
the critical need to reduce the number of new HIV/AIDS
cases through education and HIV Screening. Unfortunately,
during the pandemic, CCON has limited their outreach on
this critical public health crisis. Once the dangers of the
pandemic have faded, CCON will once again maximize the
power of Black Churches to spread a message of Hope &
Healing around HIV/AIDS.
