Selma Schimmel Vital Grant

Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Plaquemine, LA, is dedicated to providing essential support to individuals facing financial hardships caused by chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. Our program offers targeted assistance in the form of utility support and grocery assistance to help alleviate the financial burdens that can arise during such challenging times. While our grant can cover either utilities or groceries, we work closely with partnered organizations to connect recipients with additional resources. Our mission is to ensure that those in need receive the practical help they deserve, reinforcing our commitment to care and support for our community members during their most difficult moments.
