Griffin Electric supports local non-profits and gives back to families this holiday season

Holliston, MA It was a busy holiday season of giving back to local communities for Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric), which participated in an array of service-related initiatives across its local headquarters and regional offices in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina. A leading electrical subcontractor throughout New England and the Southeast for nearly five decades, Griffin Electric and its employees worked alongside several non-profit organizations and donated a collection of toys, gifts, and assorted food items for local families in need. 

The New England region kicked off its season of giving by hosting a breakfast food drive in November, collecting various non-perishable food items for donation to the Holliston Pantry Shelf. Team members were also eager to partner with the Pantry Shelf for its annual Mitten project, helping local families in need by fulfilling specific gift requests for children of all ages. The company was also pleased to welcome Sweet Inspirations, a non profit candy shop that provides vocational and employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, to its headquarters for a holiday-themed pop-up shop. Employees purchased assorted candies and other items in support of the organization, which makes several visits to Griffin Electric throughout the year. 

The company’s Southeast teams based in Pelham, AL; Charlotte; NC; and Doraville, GA each held collection drives for the Toys for Tots program. Employees throughout these regions donated new and unwrapped gifts for children ages 12 & under in support of this important initiative, which the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve has sponsored for almost 80 years. Members of the Georgia team also volunteered their time at the North Gwinnett Co-Op, a local resource that distributes food to nearly 40,000 people annually and provides financial assistance to those in need. The company’s Raleigh-Durham, NC region held their own donation drive in December, collecting food and personal care items to benefit the Wake Forest Food Pantry. 

In addition to these many service initiatives, the company was also proud to make monetary donations to some of the many food pantries throughout New England and the Southeast, as it does annually. While the holiday season comes just once a year, Griffin Electric recognizes that there are always opportunities to give back to others in need. The company prides itself on taking an active role in giving back to its local communities all year long, and Griffin Electric employees are always willing to do whatever they can to offer their support for these great causes.
