The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Kipnuk, AK, is dedicated to providing critical support to individuals enduring financial hardships caused by chronic, terminal, or rare medical conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. This compassionate grant program offers essential utility assistance and grocery support, ensuring that those in need can maintain essential services and access nourishing food. While the grant will cover either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with various organizations to identify additional resources and assistance for applicants. Together, we strive to alleviate some of the burdens faced by our community members during challenging times.
