Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

Located in Oakland, CA, the Selma Schimmel Vital Grant program provides essential financial support to individuals confronting significant hardships due to chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses like cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Our mission is to alleviate the burdens of medical expenses by offering utility assistance and grocery assistance, ensuring that those affected can maintain their basic needs during difficult times. While this program specifically covers either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with various organizations that provide additional resources and support, focusing on helping those in urgent need find a path to stability and well-being.
