Who We Are

JOE CLARK

FOUNDER & CEO

“Helping Others Inc. Helping Others is a nonprofit organization that provides help to senior citizens 65 years old and older, and on a fixed income, or Senior Citizens that are handicap. The Services that we provide includes anything that’s broken, leaking, or doesn’t work inside or outside the home. My charity will come in and fix whatever the problem is. For example, if a customer has no hot water, we will come in and figure out what the problem is, and make the repairs. The customer will not have to pay for the service. Even if equipment has to be changed, still no charge to the customer. Helping Others, Inc., will be working with licensed and experienced contractors to ensure that the quality of work will be done properly. We will buy parts and equipment from reputable businesses and chain stores.  I have worked in City Government for 35 years; 14 years at Memphis Housing Authority, and 21 years at Memphis Light Gas and Water. Throughout all my years of work I went to many homes and discovered that the customer had many problems in their homes.  With the knowledge and the skills that I have, and the people that I know,  we hope to change that and make a difference in the community!”

Our Goal

Our goal is to complete 25+ home repair projects annually, serving families and individuals in our local community who are struggling financially. We aim to expand our outreach each year by securing more donors, forming stronger community partnerships, and increasing volunteer engagement. Through these efforts, we will work towards creating long-term impact by making homes safer, healthier, and more sustainable for those who need it the most.
