The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in West Des Moines, IA, is dedicated to supporting individuals grappling with the financial challenges that accompany a chronic, terminal, or rare condition, including cancer, Parkinson's Disease, and Huntington's Disease. Recognizing that medical diagnoses can create overwhelming burdens, this grant offers essential utility assistance and grocery assistance to help alleviate some of the strain. While the program provides support specifically for either utilities or groceries, it also collaborates with various organizations to connect recipients with additional resources. Our mission is to provide practical aid and compassionate support to those in need during their most challenging times.
