This is not a trustworthy non-profit. I am a social worker that provides resources to many elders. Their website charges elders $50 to get a code to see the volunteers phone numbers, despite advertisi... See more

Questionable if Legitimate 501c3
After providing the "donation", I contacted six numbers. One was non-working, two others answered as the same NAME, but were definitely not the people listed as volunteer. Three others never returned calls.
There is NO PHONE number for ElderHelpers to speak with someone. I Sent an email to which I got an automated, "we'll respond in 2 business days" and a week has gone with no reply but daily marketing emails. In theory, this is a fantastic idea but my conclusion is it's either fraudulent or horrifically managed.

Unprompted review
Reply from ElderHelpers.org
We encourage people likely to go completely crazy and write us theses about 10 dollars to participate in the activities of other nonprofits, if this is not you please ignore these reviews.
1. "Trust" Pilot does NOT verify that people leaving reviews are genuine customers. So our competition can trash us all they want. We are a small nonprofit with no means to file lawsuits. For a serious assessment of the quality of our service check our hundreds of positive reviews on Sitejabber.
2. To cancel, send an email to help@elderhelpers.org and keep in mind that we are a small charity, not a fast food chain; please wait for our answer.
3. If you are losing it like many Americans, please call NAMI immediately instead of taking it out on us.
4. We remind everyone that our experience taught us that people with a net worth below 30,000 dollars are usually much too stressed to use our service and behave appropriately.
5. We get 0 money from the government and 0 money from corporations. If you are close to homelessness, please call 211 Unted Way; they are getting tons of cash from both.
Thank you for removing your nasty negative review. We understand if you were having a bad day.
