Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Opelousas, LA, is dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to individuals grappling with the challenges of chronic, terminal, or rare conditions like cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. We understand the overwhelming burden that these health issues can impose, and as such, our grant program offers essential support for utility and grocery costs, helping to ease the financial strain during difficult times. While assistance is limited to either utilities or groceries, we collaborate closely with local organizations to connect individuals with additional resources they may need. Our mission is to offer compassionate, practical help to those in our community facing significant health-related hardships.
