For more than 60 years, HumanKind Ministries has brought the community together to run Wichita’s largest holiday assistance program, Operation Holiday—helping our region’s most vulnerable residents get through the year’s coldest (and most expensive) months.
Item donations can be brought to the following locations:
- HumanKind Admin Office – 829 N Market St. | Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Additional information is available below, and more will be shared soon. You can also stay up to date by signing up for email updates and following us on Facebook and Instagram @HumanKindWichita.
