Community Forklift

A multigenerational family in Prince George’s County was using a chest freezer to store food because they did not have a working refrigerator. Community Forklift provided a free gently used refrigerator through our Home Essentials Program, which supplies free materials to households with limited income. Visit https://lnkd.in/gQfFW9ui to learn more about our programs! Your support of our reuse warehouse store through shopping and material and financial donations helps us keep usable materials out of the landfill and in the hands of people who can use them. Thank you! #reuserevolution #appliances #lowincome #communitysupport #secondhand #nonprofit

Community Forklift: facing the problem of landfill waste head-on since 2005!

Thanks to BOWA - Design Build Experts not only for their many years of support through material donations, but also for their recent volunteer work! A team from the design-build firm came to the reuse warehouse this month and replaced our deteriorating break room cabinetry with a salvaged set of kitchen cabinets. We appreciate BOWA’s support in helping us provide free and low-cost materials to our community and a comfortable and functional space for our team! #beforeandafter #kitchenrenovation #designbuild #volunteer #nonprofit

REUSE: it’s what’s for dinner! A Forklift Fan found this oval casserole dish with matching lid or trivet at our reuse warehouse and put it to good use for a “cabbage, sausage, and white bean casserole” recipe from The Washington Post: https://lnkd.in/eWwrSebd. That’s some delicious salvage! #beforeandafter #casserole #servingdish #secondhand #dinnertime

A Community Forklift fan made a beautiful computer desk using salvaged Treincarnation live edge lumber that they purchased from our reuse warehouse! The desk’s three shelves were created from the same slab of wood and the leg design complements and contrasts with them so nicely.

A Forklift Fan found this $15 coffee table in our reuse warehouse and repaired its damaged finish. The two-tone style looks fantastic and really highlights the table’s slick leg design. Thanks for supporting our reuse nonprofit and keeping this beauty out of the landfill! #beforeandafter #furniturerefinishing #wasteless #nonprofitorg #salvage
