The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Branford, CT, is dedicated to supporting individuals who are experiencing significant financial hardship due to chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses such as cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Our program offers crucial utility assistance and grocery assistance to help alleviate the burdens faced by those in need. We prioritize practical support by ensuring that grants cover either utilities or groceries based on the applicant's specific situation. In addition to our direct assistance, we collaborate with Vital Options International (VOI) and various organizations to connect those we serve with additional resources, ensuring a comprehensive approach to help our community navigate these challenging times with dignity and care.
