Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Whittier, CA, is dedicated to supporting individuals grappling with financial challenges stemming from a chronic, terminal, or rare illness, such as cancer, Parkinson's, or Huntington's Disease. This essential grant program provides critical utility assistance and grocery assistance to help alleviate the burden during difficult times. While the grant is designed to cover either utilities or grocery needs, we work closely with partners at Vital Options International (VOI) to connect recipients with additional resources and support. Our mission is to ensure that those in our community receive the practical help they need to navigate their health and financial struggles with dignity and care.
