Is it wrong to omit the word, to, from my sentence?

Post by hardworker »

I would like to write down two similar sentences below. I will color the word, to, in red.

(1) The main objective of the welfare center is to provide people with financial assistance, help them to deal with personal issues and to learn survival skills.

(2) The main objective of the welfare center is to provide people with financial assistance, help them deal with personal issues and learn survival skills.

I omitted the two "to's" from (1) and rewrote it in (2). Is it grammatically wrong to remove them? Thanks a lot.
