Save the date for...
Community Forklift's Half-Birthday Party!

Saturday, June 15, 2013
(Father's Day weekend)



We're "halfing" a party!

Bring your dad to Community Forklift to discover a warehouse full of home-improvement items, for half the price!

Community Forklift is turning 7 ½ years old, and we'll be celebrating with a half-birthday party.
Join us for half-price special sales, fractional fun, discounts for dads, and shared success!

We'll have half-themed children's activities throughout the day, and DIY workshops to inspire you to complete that half-finished project!
You're sure to leave with more than half a smile on your face!

Stay tuned for more info!

Community Forklift is like a thrift store for building materials, so we don't have a way to check exactly what's in stock at any given moment - our inventory is CONSTANTLY changing and our large warehouse has over a million products at any given time!

However, we wanted to show viewers some of the more unique and vintage products that have been donated to us. We'll be posting a few pictures here each week for your viewing pleasure. Just be aware that the only way to find out whether the item is still in stock is to come in and visit us at the warehouse!
