Wrentham, Massachusetts
Community Organizations
A food pantry behind a church, a library foundation buying display cases for Helen Keller’s bathing suit, a service club, a sober house and a cable station that carries your own town meetings. Every organization on this page takes volunteers, and several of them are how a resident with no title at all ends up in the room.
Community Organizations
| Organization | What they do & contact |
|---|---|

Its meetings are open to the public, on the first Thursday of the month at 5 pm in the library’s Genealogy Room. |
| Fiske Library Foundation | A 501(c)(3) at 110 Randall Road whose only purpose is to support the Fiske Public Library. It funds the Revolution 250 speaker series in the Sweatt Meeting Room and paid for the archival display case that holds Helen Keller’s bathing suit. |

| Gilly’s House | A nonprofit sober house for men in Wrentham, offering structured recovery housing at a cost it works to keep within reach. |
| Wrentham Community Media | The town’s community access station, formerly Wrentham Cable 8. It carries Select Board, School Committee and Conservation Commission meetings on Comcast channels 6 and 22 and Verizon channels 37 and 38, and streams them online. |
The Holly Club is listed without a link on purpose. The only address the town publishes for it is a social media page that will not open to an ordinary web request, and this guide does not print a link it cannot verify.
