Be Part of Something Lasting
Our Lasting Interest — 80 Years of Lending Dignity & Hope
This anniversary isn't just about us.
It's about every family who trusted us during a hard season. Every donor who believed that an interest-free loan could change a life. Every volunteer who gave their time so this work could continue.
As part of Our Lasting Interest — our 80th anniversary celebration — we are building a community story archive to honor everyone who has been part of this work.
These stories will be featured at the Tucson Jewish Museum and Holocaust Center and shared with the community that makes TJFL possible.
If TJFL has been part of your story — as a borrower, a donor, or a volunteer — we would be deeply honored to hear from you.
