We could use your help.
(Even if you're not as smooth as Don Draper from Mad Men!)
Community Forklift is in need of pro bono marketing assistance. Enormous amounts of construction materials go to waste every day in the Washington region, while many of our neighbors live in substandard housing.
There are still a lot of people out there who need to know about our work!
If your firm is able to help, please contact Ruthie or Nancy at 301-985-5180.

True story:
A homeowner recently donated
$100 to our capital campaign,
and when we thanked him,
he said, "Well, why not? I've saved far more than that by shopping at Community Forklift."
Our low-cost materials helped him fix up his old house, so he wanted to help us secure our home. Isn't that cool?
To be eligible for financing & grants, our goal is to raise $250,000 by March 31, 2010. That's a big number...but we know how many people appreciate this place. Heck, if the whole community of "Forklift Fans" were to pitch in,
we could raise these funds the way folks used to raise barns: in just a day!
Remember, Community Forklift is operated by the 501c3 nonprofit Sustainable Community Initiatives, so
your donation is tax deductible.
(Don't forget to make checks out to SCI, & write "CF Building Fund" in the memo line)

Do you have your
green hard hat yet?
A green hard hat symbolizes our work to create green jobs through reuse. And as you know, we've kicked off a capital campaign to give Community Forklift a permanent home.
So, when you give to our building fund, we'll write your name on a green hard hat card, and hang it near the register. It will be a great way to see the many people that are building this community!
Please make your tax deductible donation today to:
-
Make Community Forklift a permanent resource for the DC area,
-
Reduce our heavy occupancy costs & improve store operations,
-
Ensure our financial sustainability in the long-term, and
-
Help the region's most successful green non-profit business to thrive and grow!
4 ways to donate to the building fund:
- Visit www.CommunityForklift.com,
- Drop it off at the store,
- Call us at 301-985-5180 to donate by credit card over the phone, or
- Mail a check to: 4671 Tanglewood Drive, Edmonston MD 20781
(Please make checks out to SCI, & write "CF Building Fund" in the memo line)
In only four years, we've kept thousands of tons of building materials from going to waste, created 15 local green jobs, and made repairs more affordable for countless local homeowners, nonprofits, & small businesses.
We look forward to "lifting" this community for many years to come!
