The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Somers, CT, is dedicated to supporting individuals and families grappling with the financial difficulties that arise from chronic, terminal, or rare illnesses, including cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. We provide crucial financial assistance to help ease the burden of necessary expenses, specifically through utility assistance and grocery assistance. Our goal is to ensure that those facing these challenging circumstances have access to the basic resources they need to maintain their well-being. While this grant focuses on covering either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with other organizations to connect beneficiaries with additional support as needed.
