HumanKind Ministries

HumanKind Ministries 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 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.

The Studios at HumanKind is more than just housing, it is a place built on community, support, and second chances. Our dedicated case managers consistently go above and beyond, creating meaningful events and engagement opportunities for our residents.

This month, we celebrated with our annual birthday party, it was filled with laughter, and special “glimmers” of hope and reflection. Residents shared what these moments meant to them, highlighting not just second chances, but third…and even fiftieth chances.

Those words truly capture the spirit of life at the Studios, a community where growth, resilience, and new beginnings are possible.

Two years ago, Tim came to HumanKind through our Studios program carrying hope for a better future despite the challenges he faced. Through resilience, determination, and the support of case management, Tim continued taking steps forward even when the road was not easy.

Today, Tim has achieved a major milestone by finding meaningful employment and a renewed sense of purpose. His journey is a powerful reminder that supportive housing, community, and perseverance can create lasting change.

We are incredibly proud of Tim and honored to be part of his journey. 💛

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that healing matters and no one should have to face life’s challenges alone.

At HumanKind Ministries, we believe mental wellness starts with compassion, connection, and access to support. Whether someone is navigating stress, trauma, addiction, or uncertainty, hope and help are possible.

This month, we encourage our community to check in on one another, speak openly about mental health, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength.

You are not alone. Help is here. Hope is real.
