Today is the last day...
Please take a few seconds to
vote for us!
Dear Forklift Fans - We're in the running for "
Best Green Business" in the City Paper's 2017 contest. If we win, it means valuable free publicity for our nonprofit.
If we win, more homeowners and contractors will learn about us, and more of them will donate. This means that:
- more materials will be kept out of the landfill,
- more folks will be able to afford repairs,
- we can give more home essentials to neighbors in need,
- more green jobs will be created, and of course...
You'll find more fun stuff here in the warehouse!
We'd be so grateful for your vote! The contest ends at midnight on Sunday, March 5th, and the winners are announced in April.
Thanks very much,
The Forklifters

Wow - look what you did!
Thanks to support from YOU and all the other Forklift Fans, Community Forklift was able to do a LOT of community giving in 2016:
We started tracking of our giving in 2011, and this brings our cumulative totals to... drum roll... $125,000 in materials donations through Home Essentials and $220,000 of in-kind grants through Community Building Blocks!
The materials we donate include things like
- cabinets and counters to replace a family's kitchen after it was burned down,
- dining tables and dressers to a refugee resettlement organization that ensures our new neighbors feel welcomed,
- a mini-fridge for quick access to medication for a senior with limited mobility,
- windows for a local school to teach their construction students how to install them, or
- fencing and decking materials to keep local park trails safe for visitors
BUT we're always hoping to give out MORE!
Your financial contribution or material donation can go a long way in impacting the lives of over one million local residents who rely on our programs and the services from our partners. Can't donate directly? No problem! Shop at our
warehouse or
online anytime - your purchases will support our giving programs!
Keep up the great work, Forklift Fans!
We couldn't do it without you.

Coming up soon!
April 1st & 2nd
Community Forklift's Annual Garden Party is a fun-filled festival with:
Throughout the winter, we collect gently-used and surplus lawn & garden supplies as well as outdoor décor and furniture. Then, we put it all out for your shopping pleasure during the Garden Party! It's the Forklift's biggest fundraiser each year - proceeds support our work to create green jobs, reduce waste, educate the public about reuse, and provide free supplies to nonprofits & neighbors in need.
Now in it's 8th year, it's so popular that we've expanded it to TWO DAYS! Visit our blog for the
full schedule.
Dress to Impress
You can win prizes and gift certificates for wearing your best garden party attire, so start planning a stylish ensemble. (Friendly, leashed pets are encouraged to dress up too)
