Wangari Gardens
Puts Our Donation to Good Use
Did you know that each year, Community Forklift donates thousands of dollars in building materials to other nonprofits working in our community? We understand working on a limited budget, so we're pleased to be able to partner with dozens of local schools, community gardens, social service agencies, churches, and other nonprofits by passing along small donations to each group! Please contact Bea(at)CommunityForklift.com to find out how we might be able to help your organization.
Earlier this spring, Community Forklift helped our friends at Wangari Gardens get started with a donation of a small tool shed, lumber, and a door. We love the good work they are doing for the community, and we're excited to see it all take shape!

Wangari Gardens is a three-acre community garden built this spring, dedicated to late Nobel Laureate Professor Wangari Maathi. The garden hopes to spread Prof. Maathi's message of using green public space for the non-commercial benefit of the surrounding community.
Constructed in Park View next to the Washington Hospital Center, the garden is divided into two parts: rented family plots and a space left open for community recreation. Wangari's education garden fuels community partnerships with local schools, hospitals and after-school programs. They hope to offer a variety of garden workshops to the public. Check out our blog to learn more about all the cool stuff they're doing!

Community Forklift's Coffee Cart
Stars in a PSA!
You know how we serve coffee in the winter from a cute little cart near our checkout desk? Well, the US Department of Transportation recently used our coffee cart and rustic tools as a prop in their Miss Utility public service announcement. The actors may be attractive, but we think our cart is the real star!
