Each year 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.
Celebrating 60 Years of Help at the Holidays.

Give.
More than 14,000 low-income children and adults need our help to get through the year’s coldest (and most expensive months). Please consider supporting this important work with a donation today—no gift is too small and every bit helps.
Volunteer.
Looking for warm fuzzies this holiday season? Volunteer with us! We have opportunities now through distribution, which will take place Dec. 16th, 17th, and 18th.

Host or Donate at a Collection Site.
You can donate nonperishable food, gently used and new children’s coats only (we have received an abundance of adult coats and cannot store anymore, thank you!) and blankets, and monetary donations at our admin office located at 829 N. Market during normal business hours, M-F from 8:30am-5pm. Beginning in November, you can also drop off donations at any of the generous collection sites included in the map below, as well as our Operation Holiday warehouse (please see above for location and hours).
