WILLINGTON — Households seeking Thanksgiving or holiday assistance through Willington Human Services must return the town’s 2026 application by November 10. The form has separate choices for Thanksgiving baskets, holiday baskets and gifts for children under 18.
Thanksgiving pickup choices are November 16, 18 and 19. Holiday pickup choices are December 14, 16 and 17. Applicants select their pickup day and are responsible for collecting then; the department says it will not send reminders and asks people who need to reschedule to contact it.
For each child’s gift request, the form asks applicants to identify one item costing under $40. That is a request limit, not a guaranteed benefit. The form says completing it does not guarantee assistance and warns that incomplete applications may not be accepted.
Human Services is located on the lower level of the Town Office Building at 40 Old Farms Road. Residents should use the official application and contact the department about eligibility, submission and pickup questions.
This AI-prepared report is based on the town’s current application page and both pages of its 2026 form, downloaded and visually read October 31. The building photograph is from the November 2023 municipal election; the people and signs pictured are unrelated to holiday assistance.
