The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Bakersfield, CA, is dedicated to providing critical support to individuals facing significant financial hardships due to chronic, terminal, or rare conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, and Huntington’s Disease. Our mission is to alleviate some of the burdens that come with these challenging diagnoses by offering essential assistance with utilities or grocery costs. We understand the urgent financial pressures our recipients experience, which is why we work diligently to deliver the help they need. In addition to direct support, we also collaborate with various organizations to connect individuals to additional resources they may require during this difficult time.
