The 2026 Humanitarian Awards Benefit theme, “Welcome Home,” is a powerful reminder that home is more than walls and doors. Home is where safety is restored, dignity is honored, and healing begins. It is the place where hope is rekindled, and futures are rebuilt. At HumanKind, we believe every person deserves that sense of belonging. Together, through compassion and community, we are transforming lives – turning care into courage, empathy into opportunity, and hope into housing.
You are cordially invited to join us on Saturday, August 22, at the Drury Inn Hotel for an evening honoring HumanKind’s mission and celebrating our 2026 Humanitarian Award Recipients.

About the Humanitarian Awards Benefit
For 76 years, the Humanitarian Awards Benefit has brought the Wichita community together to celebrate its unsung heroes—everyday people going out of their way to help someone just because it’s the right thing to do. The event is also a fundraiser, raising critical funds to help HumanKind Ministries continue our important work helping those experiencing poverty and housing insecurities.
