Perhaps not with conscious intent. I suppose even staying alive and contributing to a society still means that you help your relatives pass their genes on. Even gay penguins do this when they adopt an orphaned egg.

I don’t even live near any of my relatives, and anyone I would help would be about as related to me as any other human (so, not related). Perhaps in another time period I would’ve helped my tribe, but that is not the society I live in today.
Not that it really matters here, because I have no obligation to help genes.

Every other human around you has almost the same genes as you. Just being kind to others is already a tiny contribution to the survival of the species and the genes we share. Pretty sure one would have to be actively suicidial or a Bond villain in order to not to help the genes that survive on with every breath anybody ever takes.
