Havertown's Raelyn Harnum Puts Support Behind Local Teachers

HAVERTOWN, PA — Without community leaders, Havertown wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Sally Greenspan, a Havertown reader who nominated Raelyn Harnum.

How do you know this community leader?

Volunteer for the non profit she began and runs.

What does this community leader do?

She started Teachers Teammates which collects and distributes school supplies to teachers in Delaware County. With a small yearly fee, teachers can then order all supplies they need from Teachers Teammates website at no cost.

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

Raelyn gives all of her time to this project all to aid teachers and to prevent them for having to pay out of pocket for needed supplies for their students. She has grown this non profit since it’s inception three years ago and gives her heart and soul to it seven days a week.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

Raelyn started and continues Teachers Teammates all for the benefit of our teachers. She has the biggest heart of anyone I know and puts it into all that she does.

This content is brought to our community in partnership with T-Mobile.
