Our goal is to help those in need
Our Mission Statement: "Canned Help is a non-profit organization providing food, first aid and survival products to people in need in a sincere and financially responsible manner." We understand there are people everywhere who need help, whether on the streets or behind closed doors. Our portable can was designed to make it easy for law enforcement, churches, charities and others to be able to easily carry and distribute cans where needed.
Canned Help is help in a can — an amazing multi-purpose can containing items to fulfill our basic needs: food, first aid and survival. The can is easy to ship, store and distribute, making it perfect for churches, law enforcement, missionaries and other charitable organizations.
One can can make a huge difference
We interviewed hundreds of homeless people to formulate the perfect mix of products to fit in a gallon-sized easy to carry can. The contents include canned meat and other foods, first aid and hygiene items, and items for protection from the elements. The recyclable can is specially made, with a unique resealable lid to make the can waterproof and reusable. The can may also be used for cooking or to store water or dry goods. For a person in need, this one simple can can make a huge difference.

One remarkable can
Canned Help founder Dean Seeberger had a dream. During his years as a reserve deputy and search and rescue pilot, he has seen many situations where a little help could make a big difference for people who were dealing with hardship or disaster. The images would not leave him alone, and for years he worked to come up with an idea that would allow him to organize easy to distribute relief for those in need. With help from his wife Christine and inspiration from Franklin Graham's Miracle in a Shoe Box program, the answer finally came to him in one remarkable can.
