Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, based in Gary, IN, is dedicated to providing vital financial support to individuals facing significant hardships due to chronic, terminal, or rare conditions such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. Our program specifically offers utility assistance and grocery assistance to help alleviate the burden of essential living costs during challenging times. It’s important to note that the grant can be utilized for either utilities or groceries, ensuring targeted support where it is most needed. We also collaborate with other local organizations to connect our applicants with additional resources, enhancing the comprehensive care we strive to provide for our community members during their times of need.
