HumanKind At HumanKind, we envision compassionate Virginia communities where every person is valued, and communities prosper. Who is HumanKind? What does HumanKind do?

Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen individuals and families through care, counseling, and education. HumanKind is a non-profit human services organization that has been serving children and families for more than 100 years. We offer programs and services that instill hope and equip people with the tools to build a strong foundation for life. We rely on donations, grants and local volunteers

to serve those in need, and have strong connections to wide-ranging resources focused on helping individuals become more productive, healthier, and stronger. By helping individuals reach their potential, we are building strong families and communities! At its heart, HumanKind is about developing potential and building people up by providing hope and the tools to build a better life. With an emphasis on inclusion, we help individuals and families who face any number of life’s challenges. Our programs cover everything from financial education to mental health counseling, from early childhood resources to services for adults with disabilities. We bring our strength and experience to our work every day because we believe strong individuals and families build stronger communities.

⚾We had a great time at the Hill City Howlers last night! We loved seeing our own Sherri Conner on the mound. Gold star to her for pitching in an inflatable turkey suit!

🎉 Thank You to The Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation! 🎉

HumanKind is grateful to the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation for its recent grant award supporting our Early Head Start program.

This generous investment comes at an exciting time as HumanKind continues to expand access to high-quality early childhood services for local families. Through our recent Early Head Start expansion, we have increased our enrollment capacity from 64 to 106 children across Lynchburg and Bedford, enabling us to serve even more infants, toddlers, and families during these critical early years of development.

The Foundation's support helps ensure that children receive the educational, developmental, and family support services they need to learn, grow, and thrive — while empowering parents with resources that strengthen the entire family.

Thank you, Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation, for partnering with us to create brighter futures for children and families throughout our community. 💙
