The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Portland, CT, is dedicated to providing essential financial relief for individuals grappling with the overwhelming challenges posed by chronic, terminal, or rare conditions, including cancer, Parkinson's, and Huntington's Disease. This compassionate program offers critical utility assistance and grocery support to those in financial distress due to their diagnosis. While the grant is designed to cover either utilities or groceries, we collaborate closely with community partners to facilitate access to additional resources and support. Our mission is to ensure that those facing these difficult health challenges can find the assistance they need to maintain their quality of life.
