Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in New Iberia, LA, is dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing financial hardship due to chronic, terminal, or rare conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. This program provides crucial assistance for essential needs like utility payments and grocery support to help alleviate the burden during challenging times. While the grant covers either utilities or groceries, we also partner with local organizations to connect recipients with additional resources and assistance. Our mission is to empower clients with the essential support they need to navigate their health challenges with dignity and care.
