The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Derby, CT, is dedicated to supporting individuals grappling with the financial burdens that arise from chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses such as cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Our program offers essential utility assistance and grocery assistance to ease the struggles faced during these challenging times. Understanding the urgency of these needs, we aim to provide practical support by covering either utilities or groceries. Furthermore, we collaborate with various organizations to help connect recipients with additional resources and assistance, ensuring they receive the compassion and support they truly deserve.
