Deserving families suffering illness, incapacitating accidents, etc. and who can't work are often assisted financially or with food donations. Special projects are also funded to help the community and out-of-state members. Tri-State is in the process of "adopting" two elementary schools located in Coker Creekand Turtletown, TN. Funds will be made available to these schools to help buy books, supplies, and playground equipment for the children.

Tri-State, with the assistance of the Tennessee Forestry Department plants fruit trees and distributes feed and seed for the area's wildlife.
