The Safe Shift estate sale store acquires entire and partial estates as charitable donations for resale. Proceeds from the sales of donated goods fund the Health and Wellness Endowment Fund which is professionally managed by the Jewish Community Foundation of Southern Arizona.
By donating all or part of your estate, you will be contributing to the health and wellness of regional firefighters and first responders.
If you are selling the estate yourself, please consider donating a portion of the proceeds to the Greater Tucson Fire Foundation. Tax ID #27-3155431
Dear Friends, Supporters, and loyal Customers,
In February, we announced the planned closure of the SAFE SHIFT store. Your support over the past twelve years was a key factor in the Foundation’s ability to make this decision. The store is doing incredibly well, but it is time for us to focus on our mission, taking care of those who take care of us!
Can I still donate items to Safe Shift? Yes! We will continue to accept donations through April 2025. Volunteers are at the store Monday – Thursday from 10:00 – 2:00 to receive items.
I planned on leaving my estate to the Foundation. Can I still do that? Yes! Though we will not have the Safe Shift Store, we can liquidate estates donated to the Greater Tucson Fire Foundation
How will the Foundation receive funding? The GTFF is a donor supported 501(c)(3). Visit our website for information regarding monetary donations and legacy giving.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Mike McKendrick, Chairman Greater Tucson Fire Foundation
