We are HumanKind
For more than 135 years, HumanKind Ministries has demonstrated a commitment to helping those struggling in our community with an emphasis on poverty and housing insecurities. We believe that, just like the path to poverty takes many shapes, so do the solutions. From homeless to home, and beyond, we are committed to helping all find their way— providing not only hope, but an opportunity to start again.
Our mission
HumanKind Ministries provides outreach, shelter, affordable housing, basic needs, and supportive services to those experiencing housing insecurities or poverty in Sedgwick County. Recognizing the inherent value of each person, we serve our region’s most vulnerable with compassion and, in doing so, strengthen the entire community.
Our vision
We will serve as the catalyst for change in our community by educating and bringing together individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and government to support all those struggling with poverty or homelessness. Together we will ensure homelessness in Sedgwick County is rare, brief, and nonrecurring. By meeting our clients where they are, literally and figuratively, we will help them achieve a place of stability and maintain it, thus breaking the cycle of homelessness.
