Thanks to team members from Fidelity Bank for preparing food boxes at our Operation Holiday Warehouse! In just two hours, the group packed 700 boxes with protein, vegetables, fruit, and more. Thank you for making a difference this holiday season!

"Each day at HumanKind has given me the opportunity to learn how to become a better person," said Cody Cokeley, HumanKind Client Experience Associate at The Inn.

We always enjoy having the opportunity to show our campus to community members. Today, leaders from Ascension Via Christi spent the morning touring and learning about HumanKind services. Thanks for joining us!

Volunteer spotlight During the 2023 Operation Holiday, over 41 businesses volunteered with HumanKind Ministries to help spread holiday cheer to individuals and families in Wichita. One of those gracious organizations was Credit Union of America. “A consistent concern among Credit Union of America employees is the well-being of those experiencing poverty and housing insecurity in Wichita,” says Jordan Poland, CUA Community Engagement Specialist. “By partnering with HumanKind through various volunteer initiatives, CUA employees actively contribute to addressing this critical issue, which has been identified as a top priority.” Thank you, Credit Union of America, for making our community a priority in your work!

There was a great turnout yesterday at the 2024 Wichita CROP Walk! Thanks to the teams who fundraised and donated jars of peanut butter, which were distributed to organizations committed to fighting hunger in the Wichita area. HumanKind is grateful for your generosity!

HumanKind was selected as this year's Integris Impact awardee! Yesterday, members of the HumanKind team had the pleasure of attending the 2024 Integris Inspire conference, where they shared HumanKind's mission with attendees and learned about upcoming trends in IT from experts in the field. Thank you, Integris!

Last week, we had the privilege of giving new shoes to a family of three staying at The Inn, including their two-year-old son, Odin. He was so excited to try on his new cowboy boots and test them out! "Odin grew out of his shoes a couple of weeks ago, so he had to go without," said Heather, Odin's mom. "It's just such a blessing to have these new shoes." At HumanKind, we are committed to helping families take steps toward stability and hope. Thank you to all of our supporters who make this critical work possible.
