A bank robbery. Outside, Skinner, the FBI official, finds the policeman in charge by the building.
Skinner: You in charge here?
Kraskow: Lieutenant Kraskow. Is the Bureau taking over?
Skinner: You're welcome to any help that I can give you, but that's not why I'm here. What can you tell me?
And then Kraskow reports the situation.

I think it should have been "welcome to have/get/receive any help", i.e., an infinitive. Because "to be welcome to (noun)" has a different meaning.
Do you agree with that?
Thanks.
