The Selma Schimmel Vital Grant in South Portland, ME, is dedicated to providing vital financial support for individuals battling chronic, terminal, or rare conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s Disease. Understanding the challenges that arise from such diagnoses, this program offers crucial assistance in the form of utility or grocery support to alleviate some of the burdens faced by these individuals. While the grant specifically covers either utility or grocery assistance, we also collaborate with various organizations to connect recipients with additional resources for comprehensive support. Our mission is to ensure that those facing significant hardships receive the help they need, fostering a community of care and resilience.
