Practical and Direct Services

Located in Leawood, KS, Practical and Direct Services is dedicated to supporting individuals battling cancer by providing essential items tailored to their unique medical needs. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens of cancer treatment through our diverse offerings, which include nutritional supplements, medical equipment, mastectomy supplies, wigs, turbans, scarves, and comfort items. While some services are available on a donation basis and open to anyone in the Greater Kansas City area affected by cancer, certain programs are grant-funded with specific eligibility criteria. We encourage those in need to connect with our compassionate case managers, who will assist in determining eligibility and guiding them toward the right resources. Our commitment extends to both cancer patients and their families, ensuring access to invaluable support without a financial strain, though there may be a nominal fee for nutritional supplements based on income as assessed during the application process.
