The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in Ankeny, Iowa, is dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing financial hardship due to chronic, terminal, or rare medical conditions, including cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. This program offers vital assistance with essential utility payments and grocery expenses, helping to ease the burden during challenging times. While the grant specifically covers either utilities or groceries, our partnership with Vital Options International (VOI) ensures that applicants can also access other forms of support through local organizations, reinforcing our commitment to provide comprehensive help when it is needed most.
