Blaine House Backpack Program
Blaine realized he wanted to become a teacher after tutoring fellow classmates while he himself was a student.
​
To honor his dedication, Raising the House works with the Palmerton school district to assist in providing backpacks to students. Over the years, the contents of these backpacks has covered a variety of items, including school supplies, sanitary products, and healthy and
non-perishable foods.
​
To date, Raising the House has supplied backpacks to over 100 students.
