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 lo
w-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.
