Community
Blain's Farm & Fleet was built with strong family ties. Today, it is in this spirit that we support charitable organizations dedicated to family, community and agricultural education.
Each Blain's Farm & Fleet store is actively involved in contributing to charitable programs in our communities.

Future Farmers of America Scholarships
In honor of our founders, Blain's works with the FFA each year to establish four educational scholarships for students pursuing a 4-year degree in agriculture. Since its inception in 1997, the FFA has awarded the Bert and Claude Blain Memorial Scholarship to 24+ hard working students. We're also proud sponsors of the Midwest Horse Fair, numerous 4-H activities, and other local community projects.
4-H Sponsorships
Blain Supply, Inc. is a proud sponsor of numerous 4-H activities. Each year, Blain Supply provides approximately 350 trophies and 180 ribbons/rosettes to 4-H Clubs throughout our communities. The mission of the 4-H is to empower youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. Blain Supply is honored to be a part of this worthwhile organization.
Kids Helping Kids is a program created by Blain's Farm & Fleet that teaches our children the importance and beauty of giving to others in need.
In 2000, the very first annual Kids Helping Kids program was launched in conjunction with the opening of Blain's Farm & Fleet Toyland. Through this program, parents register their children to win gift cards. Then, on behalf of the winning children, Blain's Farm & Fleet donates a matching dollar amount to a variety of charities in each of our communities. The winners of the contest are encouraged to help present the matching contribution to the charitable organizations. Some of the charities that have received these gifts are Boys & Girls Clubs, Cops for Kids, Dove, Inc, Empty Stocking Club, Family Resource Center, Good Fellow Fund, Head Start and more!
