Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant is dedicated to supporting individuals in Oak Park, IL, who are grappling with the profound financial challenges brought on by serious health conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. Our mission is to provide vital relief through utility assistance and grocery support, ensuring that those affected by chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses can focus on their health without the burden of immediate financial strain. While the grant focuses on either utility costs or grocery needs, we also collaborate with various organizations to connect recipients with additional resources for further assistance. Our commitment is to empower those in critical situations by offering essential support during their most challenging times.
