Shop green, shop small, or don’t shop at all –
Community Forklift gives you an excuse to stay away from the mall!
Instead of fighting crowds to buy presents after Thanksgiving, come by our warehouse to relax with friends and make presents. We’ll have live entertainment, a salvage sale, local artists, delicious food, and free photos with Santa for all ages. It’s FREE for the whole family. (Of course, you are welcome to bring cash so you can patronize the locally-owned businesses, tip the entertainers, and support your favorite reuse nonprofit!)
