Kids Helping Kids is a program created by Blain's Farm & Fleet, which teaches children the importance and beauty of giving to others in need. Through this program, parents register their children to win gift cards at Blains. Then, on behalf of the winning children, Blain's Farm & Fleet donates a matching dollar amount to charity. Since 2004, the Waterloo Jaycees have assisted Blains Farm & Fleet through choosing a worthy organization in our area and then using the matching dollars to purchase items from Blains that will benefit that organization. Some of the organizations that have received these gifts since the Jaycees have been involved are:

• Children of Military families over seas
• Cedar Valley Hospice, The Eucalyptus Tree program
• Department of Human Services, Foster Care Program

Thanks to Blains Farm and Fleet for letting us to help with this heartwarming cause.

"In 2006 the Waterloo Jaycees partnered with Blains Farm and Fleet's Kids Helping Kids Program. The Waterloo Jaycees chose the Department of Human Services, Foster Care Program as a program that is deserving of the $300 gift card from Blains Farm and Fleet. The gift card was used to purchase backpacks and stuffed animals/books for children who are removed from homes in an emergency situation. Thanks to Blain Farm and Fleet for helping us touch the hearts of those in need"
