Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Chico, CA, is dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating the challenges of significant financial hardship caused by chronic, terminal, or rare conditions, including but not limited to cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Our program offers essential utility assistance and grocery assistance to help alleviate immediate financial burdens and ensure basic needs are met. While this grant covers either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with partner organizations to connect recipients with additional resources and support. Our mission is to provide compassionate, practical aid to those who need it most during difficult times.
