About

How Can I HelpInc. is a not-for-profit community agency dedicated to providing senior citizens with free or low-cost services that will improve and enhance their quality of life.

How Can I HelpInc. does not charge for any of its services or events. In many cases, we bring our programs directly to citizen apartment buildings, senior centers, nursing homes, lodges, and other locations in order to make it easier for seniors to participate.

We search for free and low-cost products / services that are of interest to the senior community; host a wide range of seminars on various topics; assist the elderly with obtaining emergency services; provide referrals to agencies offering senior discounts; and schedule appointments … and we do it all at no cost.

We seek funding from local businesses, agencies, churches, civic groups, organizations and individuals who share our belief that senior citizens should be rewarded and not punished for making it to their golden years. And because How Can I HelpInc. is formally certified under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code, contributions are tax-deductible.
