Griffin Electric supports communities through several charitable projects

Holliston, MA Continuing its longstanding support of charitable causes, employees throughout Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) donated hundreds of toys and other gifts on behalf of the Holliston Pantry Shelf and U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program during the holiday season. A leading electrical and telecommunications subcontractor throughout New England and the Southeast for nearly 45 years, Griffin Electric also made donations to some of the many food pantries in each of the regions that it works and recently hosted a blood drive to benefit Boston Children’s Hospital. 

Around Veterans Day, the New England region held a Personal Care Item Drive in support of veterans and Project New Hope. And as it has for many years, as the holidays approached Griffin team members in New England also purchased presents for some of the local families that the Holliston Pantry Shelf serves as part of its annual Mitten Project. Each employee was paired with a mitten that corresponded with a child and a specific gift request, which included items such as clothing, footwear, toys, games, and gift cards. 

Employees throughout each of the company’s Southeast regions in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina were eager to once again support Toys for Tots. This holiday season marked the 75^th anniversary of the program, which has a mission to “collect new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas.” The milestone is an important reminder of the significant impact that this cause has had for local families across the country, and Griffin Electric is proud to participate in a program that has supported more than 281 million children. 

Shortly after the New Year, the company partnered with Boston Children’s Hospital and welcomed their new bloodmobile on-site at its headquarters. Many employees made donations and helped make it a successful blood drive for Boston Children’s, the country’s #1 pediatric hospital by U.S. News & World Report for nine years straight. 

The holiday season can be a particularly stressful and expensive time of year, and Griffin Electric is fortunate to be in a place to be able to give back and help those in need. The company is also grateful to have so many selfless and compassionate people on its team. No matter what the cause, Griffin employees are active participants in every community service project that the company gets involved with.
