Danbury holiday assistance applications must be mailed by Dec. 1

Danbury Township families seeking holiday food and household assistance must mail their applications by Dec. 1, according to the Holiday Bureau's 2026 application packet.

The program serves families in Danbury Township, Ottawa County, including the Marblehead and Lakeside area. The bureau offers one-time seasonal help with food, paper products, cleaning supplies and toys, according to its September letter, recirculated in Danbury Local Schools' Nov. 2 newsletter.

Families should complete the 2026 Holiday Bureau application and mail it to the Danbury Holiday Bureau, 2259 E. Sand Road, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452. The head of household must sign and date the form and provide the requested household and financial information.

The application says the form itself is for food assistance only. To apply for toys, families must call 419-732-2769. The cover letter describes toys for children under 18 and asks families to note toy requests on the application; families should call for the separate toy application rather than rely on that notation alone.

The bureau says county guidelines apply and encourages families facing temporary or continuing financial difficulties to seek help. The packet does not state income limits or distribution dates.

For questions about the Danbury application or eligibility, call Judy Smolk, the bureau's Danbury chairperson, at 419-350-4030.
