The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant, located in Bristol, CT, is dedicated to supporting individuals facing significant financial hardships due to chronic, terminal, or rare conditions like cancer, Parkinson’s disease, or Huntington’s disease. This vital program provides essential utility assistance and grocery assistance to alleviate some of the pressing burdens associated with these challenging diagnoses. While the grant specifically covers either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with various partner organizations to explore additional forms of support, ensuring that those in need receive comprehensive care and resources during difficult times.
