Did you know?  eBay selected  Community Forklift (and our CEO Nancy J. Meyer) from among 2,400 small businesses as a semi-finalist for the eBay Shine Awards.  We're in the top 15 nationwide, and now, we need your help...  


Voting ends this Friday, July 14th - 
so it's our last chance to win this thing!    

If we get enough votes, we can wi n up to $10,000 for our nonprofit, a video and photo shoot, and a makeover of our eBay site to get our salvaged goods to a broader audience.  

Proceeds from our  online stores fund a substantial portion of our nonprofit's work. Winning this contest will mean we can do more good here in the DC metro region!  We can keep more usable stuff out of landfills, offer more green jobs, and provide more free materials to community groups, seniors, vets, and neighbors in need.

Please ask your friends to vote too!
