Through a suite of programs, we provide training to disadvantaged workers, salvage building materials, build furniture, and teach reuse. In 2023, we diverted 1,722,200 pounds of building materials from the landfill; performed 229 free pickups throughout Whatcom County and beyond; and were hired for 26 deconstruction projects. The RE Store also helped trainees gain valuable on-the-job skills through the Community Jobs Training Program, which has equipped hundreds of economically disadvantaged residents and/or people re-entering the job market with tools they need to succeed. In 2023, 90% of our Community Jobs Training Program trainees who completed their work contract found employment or were enrolled in a local college. We also partnered with Sustainable Connections to build and launch Washington state's first official "Freedge" shed, a mini food pantry for perishables available to everyone and that has diverted over 8,000 pounds of food waste. 169806 0 0 Educating for the Environment: The kids aren't alright, but we can help. A 2022 national EdWeek survey found that 37% of teenagers feel anxious when they think about climate change and its effects. That's why we're aligning our climate and environmental education offerings with pathways to hope through action. In 2023, we partnered with other local nonprofits and the Washington State ClimeTime program, to offer 5 professional development courses for 120 Whatcom County K-12 teachers. We also connected 25 high school students with avenues for local climate action across 825 hours through our Youth for the Environment & People (YEP!) program. Student cohorts implemented three semester-long projects in the community to address a different climate-related issue of the students' choosing. YEP! led to a 48% increase in how hopeful students felt that we as a society can address climate change and create a positive future. In addition, we equipped 150 fifth grade students with tools to green their school. The students performed a waste investigation at their school, and about 80 of the students worked to reduce food waste going into the landfill at their schools by improving waste bin signage, volunteering as "lunchroom monitors", and installing a water bottle refill station. 715177 0 0 Environmental Advocacy and Science: From the forested headwaters of Mount Baker to the depths of the Salish Sea, the way we treat one landscape impacts all the others. RE Sources employs advocacy, education, science and action across these landscapes so we can address pollution, environmental degradation, and climate change in the most impactful ways possible. In 2023, thanks to community action both locally and across the state, we protected 650 acres of forest in Whatcom County and 2,000 acres across western Washington. Moreover, RE Sources successfully advocated for Whatcom County Council to form a "Forest Resilience Task Force." We held four public tours of contaminated cleanup sites in Bellingham Bay and Blaine; completed 158 hours of monitoring and patrols of our rivers, creeks, and marine shorelines; and held several beach cleanups where over 200 volunteers collected almost 2,000 pounds of trash. In addition, we partnered with labor unions to urge passage of stronger safety rules for oil refineries vital for preventing potentially deadly incidents, while also reducing the more common non-fatal incidents of toxic exposures and emergency flaring that releases toxic pollution. We were also part of a statewide coalition that successfully advocated for a new state law that creates a pathway for local jurisdictions to weave carbon reduction and climate adaptation into their comprehensive plans. 0 0 0 1951980 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 47 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WA X Janet Marino 3607338307 2309 Meridian St Bellingham WA 98225 Shannon Wright Executive Director 40 0 X 110617 0 1598 Alison Merz Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 John Bosche Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Burke Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jan Dank Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Fletcher Wilkinson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Edward Ted Wolf President 5 0 X 0 0 0 Erica Littlewood Vice President 3 0 X 0 0 0 Carl Weimer Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 110617 0 1598 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 180816 1229425 67127 1410241 Recycling income 900099 2958 2958 0 0 Salvage & deconstruction 900099 150726 150726 0 0 Community jobs training 900099 263 263 0 0 0 0 0 0 153947 2612 0 0 2612 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1250 0 0 0 1250 0 1250 0 0 1250 24965 0 26102 0 -1137 0 -1137 0 0 -1137 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 810458 59905 750553 750553 0 0 Credit card fee income 900099 10904 10904 0 0 L&I Stay at Work refund 900099 5667 0 0 5667 Other 900099 1888 0 0 1888 0 0 0 0 18459 2335925 915404 0 10280 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 112215 56107 28054 28054 0 1666057 1272765 229404 163888 10584 7097 2466 1021 211255 169909 20682 20664 198195 151545 28041 18609 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4996 0 4996 0 0 0 0 0 12100 12100 0 0 0 0 18561 12860 5701 0 10653 9470 152 1031 17036 2740 6536 7760 44318 17358 12186 14774 0 0 0 0 86670 69336 8667 8667 13160 11823 1327 10 0 0 0 0 9290 3840 3072 2378 51083 40867 5108 5108 0 0 0 0 57445 45955 5745 5745 57869 34721 23148 0 Credit card and other fees 45587 45587 0 0 0 0 0 0 2627074 1951980 385285 289809 267723 125892 204260 60130 79179 21561 37994 5470 61364 61364 10657 16373 2961540 950548 2062764 2010992 12819 13122 2736760 2314904 222561 230414 0 0 0 0 59116 39116 1287178 1177452 99000 90166 1667855 1537148 X 1068905 777756 0 0 1068905 777756 2736760 2314904 -291149 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 1276576 1150998 1505267 1632919 1410241 6976001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1276576 1150998 1505267 1632919 1410241 6976001 767730 6208271 7034 2039 1138 770 3862 14843 0 0 0 0 0 0 13633 4295 17446 12095 18459 65928 7056772 3956288 0.87976 0.86675 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other income is comprised of the sale of a computer to a former employee, and a refund from Tri-County Construction Council who provides refunds to contractors whose employees do not have any major workers compensation injuries throughout the year.
