Holliston, MA (September 2025). With the summer coming to a close and students recently heading back to school, Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) once again partnered with the Holliston Pantry Shelf and Medway House as part of its annual Backpack Drive. A leading electrical subcontractor throughout New England and the Southeast for nearly five decades, Griffin Electric and its employees teamed up with these non-profit 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 pre-school through the high school level. Understanding that the back-to-school season can be an expensive time, the company was pleased to also include a gift card with each backpack to help cover the costs of any additional needs for families.
