Repasts believes in complete transparency of any and all financial and other organizational information. We believe that this information allows donors and other partners to assess the viability and efficiency of our efforts. We are working to set a new standard for easily accessible and digestible information. We ourselves would like to see this model on the web sites of other organizations. Please contact us if you have any suggestions or questions in this regard.
Reports are in for our first year of the FridayMornings@SELMA breakfast. In 50 weeks the breakfast raised $50,000. About $17,600 was spent on food and other supplies from our area farmers, producers and merchants. $32,000 was lent for (4) hoop-house projects.
First year summary reports (February 20th, 2009 to February 19th, 2010):

The second year is off to a blazing start, and though I hope to have an easier accounting and reporting system in place soon (help!) here are the reports as they come in:
Repasts is an all-volunteer organization and all money raised is passed straight through to our causes. This report summarizes all funds raised to date and how they have been or will be distributed as well as attempting to list any assets that have or have yet to be expensed.
Key assets that are not yet clearly detailed in these reports are:
- our home, which we offer for as many community events as possible
- service (plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, etc.) for about 35 people and other items that we would like to make available for other fund-raising efforts
- the goodwill of our friends and community - without you this work would not be possible
Some items that would really help continue this work into the future:
- we could always use a bit more silverware and napkins!
- pass-through or other commercial (but small) toaster
- some nice thick “booster pillows” for the dining room chairs would be nice!
