Providing shelter, affordable housing and supportive services to those in Wichita who need them most. HumanKind recognizes the inherent value of each person.

We serve the most vulnerable with compassion and kindness and, in doing so, strengthen the entire community. HumanKind operates three homeless shelters in Wichita. The Inn, our year-round shelter for individuals, families and pets in need has been serving the Wichita community for 36 years. From November through March, HK operates Emergency Winter Shelters for men and women. We also provide 155 low-cost, permanent supportive housing units to assist in the journey from homelessness to home. Residents of our apartments receive case management and life skills classes to help them adapt to life in permanent housing and break the cycle of homelessness. During the holidays, assistance is available to those living at or below the poverty level through Operation Holiday, the region's largest holiday assistance program, operating since the 1950s. In 2020 we served more than 14,000 men, women and children living in and around Wichita with food, pet food, coats, blankets, scarves, gloves and hats and toys. HumanKind depends on the kindness and generosity of its community, volunteers, and donors. For information about how to give or get involved, please visit HumanKindWichita.org.

Had a great time at Impact on the Plains with the United Way of the Plains last night. It's always a great time to support fellow Wichita nonprofits. Congratulations to all the winners!

Last Saturday night was amazing as we gathered to celebrate this year's Humanitarian Awards Winners and support HumanKind's mission. Together, we raised more than $620,000 to support housing here in Wichita. There was a sing-along, heartfelt stories of transformation, great food, and a squirrel. It was unlike any other gala, and a whole lot of fun! Link to the story in the comments.

After being released from the hospital with no place to go, she found herself on the street. More than a year without a place to call her own. Shelter nights. Uncertain days. No privacy, no personal space, no permanent place to land. Then comes the moment she's been working toward. She opens the door to her apartment on a hot August day. The cool air hits her as she walks inside to sign the lease, knowing that after all the effort, determination, and patience, she finally has a home. Her smile is everything. Welcome home.

Housing is more than a roof over your head. It is stability, hope, a launching point for something better. Everyone deserves safe and stable housing. At HumanKind, we do housing.
