The Holliston Pantry Shelf, established almost 30 years ago, is a nonprofit food pantry serving close to 200 local families and is run by a staff of 120 volunteers, with no state or local funding. Providing congregate housing for several local families, the Medway House Family Shelter assists its residents in acquiring permanent and affordable housing, as well as “medical, educational, vocational, and social services and referrals.”

Headquartered in Holliston, and with regional office locations in Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia, Griffin Electric prioritizes the importance of paying it forward and staying connected to the local programs and residents in these areas.
