Each year since 1960, generous individuals (like you!) and organizations come together with HumanKind Ministries to run Wichita’s largest holiday assistance program, Operation Holiday. More than providing basic needs to Sedgwick County’s most vulnerable residents, Operation Holiday brings our community together in a spirit of human kindness to spread hope—showing our low-income neighbors that their community cares.

Operation Holiday 2025 took place in December and served 16,251 people, including a record of 5,929 children. Over just five days, the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and sponsors touched thousands of lives and made holiday dreams come true.

Details of Operation Holiday 2026 will be released in October—check back here and follow @HumanKindWichita on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on the details and other news.
