Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, based in Berkeley, CA, is dedicated to supporting individuals facing significant financial hardships due to chronic, terminal, or rare conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. This vital program offers essential utility and grocery assistance, ensuring that those in need can receive support for their most pressing needs during challenging times. While the grant covers either utilities or groceries, we also partner with various organizations to provide additional assistance to empower our recipients. We are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those impacted by serious health challenges.
