Support, guidance and shelter for all
HumanKind Ministries in partnership with Second Light Shelter & Services, operates a year-round, extended-stay shelter. Together, we serve approximately 1,400 individuals each year. Beyond meeting basic needs, clients also receive support through community resources and life skills development to help them build and maintain stable, healthy lives.
The Inn
Phone: 316-264-8051 | Location: 320 E Central, Wichita, KS, 67202
The Inn is a 60-bed, 24-hour facility that provides shelter, meals, clothing and other basic living essentials to individuals and families. A typical stay is 30-90 days, but guests are welcome to stay as long as they need to address their obstacles to housing.
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 try our hardest to accommodate guests and groups of all sizes on a first-come, first-served basis. However, given our dorm-style rooms and guests’ ever-changing circumstances, please call ahead to confirm bed availability.

The shelter, open 24/7, offers essential services to meet basic needs. Guests have access to hot meals, showers, healthcare services and other basic necessities. These resources are vital in helping individuals stay safe, healthy and cared for.
