The Inn is a 24-hour, full-service facility, providing shelter, meals, clothing and other basic living essentials for individuals, single parents and families.

Opened on Valentine’s Day in 1985, The Inn can provide shelter and meals and is almost always full. Some have been on the streets for years while others find themselves without a place to stay for the first time in their lives. Case management staff provides support to the clients that helps them address their unique challenges, find and maintain permanent housing, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

We ask that clients call ahead to confirm bed availability. If you are unable to call ahead, walk-up times are 10 am, 1:30 pm and 7:30 pm.

Operates annually November 1–March 31
The need for a homeless shelter is greater than our year-round capacity, so for the five coldest months of the year, HumanKind Ministries operates the no-barrier Men’s Emergency Winter Shelter to provide dinner, breakfast, clean clothes and a safe, warm, dry place to sleep for anyone who needs it. We serve more than 100 men on most nights between November 1 – March 31.

Please contact the HumanKind Ministries office if you are a part of a group who might be interested in providing a meal.

In addition to food and shelter, through partnerships with local health clinics, we are able to offer basic medical and preventative care at the Emergency Winter Shelter. These partnerships have resulted in fewer illnesses and fewer visits to the emergency room.

Working with Episcopal Social Services through a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation, HumanKind Ministries case managers have conducted smoking reduction classes at the Spiritual Center. Through education and encouragement the goal is to reduce the number of cigarettes, leading to gradual cessation.
