The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Albia, IA, is dedicated to supporting individuals and families grappling with the financial burdens that arise from chronic, terminal, or rare medical conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Through our program, we provide essential utility and grocery assistance to those in need, acknowledging the urgent challenges our recipients face. While the grant offers support for either utilities or groceries, we also collaborate with Vital Options International (VOI) and other local organizations to connect individuals with additional resources and assistance. Our mission is to alleviate the stress of financial hardships, allowing those affected to focus on what matters most—their health and well-being.
