HOLLISTON, MA — Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) partnered with the Holliston Pantry Shelf and Medway House as part of its annual Backpack Drive. An electrical subcontractor throughout New England and the Southeast for nearly five decades, Griffin Electric and its employees teamed up with these nonprofit organizations to donate backpacks stuffed with essential school supplies to students in the area.

The Holliston Pantry Shelf provides free food and personal care items to local residents in need, while Medway House is a homeless shelter for families, working to help them acquire permanent and affordable housing. Backpacks were gifted to children ranging in age from preschool through the high school level. The company also included a gift card with each backpack to help cover the costs of any additional needs for families.

This annual Backpack Drive is one of the many initiatives that Griffin Electric supports. The company is headquartered in Holliston, Massachusetts, and also has regional locations in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, and its team members give back throughout the year.
