In October of 2010, Ransom Cafe began serving quality meals at one location on weekdays from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Ransom Cafe now has five different locations in Mobile County and one in Baldwin County. If someone cannot pay for lunch, they are also given the opportunity to work in the cafe as payment for lunch if they so choose. While they are encouraged to do so, they are not required to work. The Cafe also provides a Thanksgiving Day meal for free to the community. In 2016, we also added a food truck called Ransom on the Road to serve meals to homeless people throughout the City of Mobile. During 2016, the Cafe and food truck served 22,101 meals. 11519 Another project of Ransom Minsitries, Inc. is the Clean Machine, a self-contained 22-foot trailer with two bathrooms, three washing machines and three dryers. The idea for the Clean Machine came to Matt Armbruster after he spent three days on the streets as a homeless experiment and realized how much people needed these services. After generous donations from businesses, churches and individuals, the Clean Machine was built and started serving people in June of 2013. The Clean Machine allows homeless people to get their clothes cleaned and provides them a hot shower. The trailer is portable and travels all over Mobile and Baldwin counties. During 2016, the Clean Machine was able to provide 527 showers, 707 haircuts, and 558 loads of laundry to the homeless community of Mobile. 19754 Through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity, Ransom Ministries developed its first raised bed community garden in the Hillsdale community off of Cody Road. It started with 10 raised beds and has expanded to 18. In June of 2013 a second raised bed garden was created in the Prichard community. We also bring in mission teams and volunteers to serve in the community. Weekend or week long service camps are available for youth, adults or a combination of ages. These teams can work in the Cafe, with the Clean Machine, in the Community Gardens, or with our other ministry partners. We also offer a summer camp and a Christmas outreach. 112175 810 258934 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 6 true false false false false false false X 10 8 true false false false false false false true true false false true false false true true true true false X TARA ARMBRUSTER 2514551525 7735 DEERFIELD CIR MOBILE AL 36695 TARA ARMBRUSTER DIRECTOR 050.00 X X X 34248 0 0 MATT ARMBRUSTER DIRECTOR 060.00 X X X 38124 0 0 KUALANEE DAVIS BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 LYDIA JONSON BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 KARI LITTLE BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 NORWOOD MORRIS BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF BEAVERSTOCK PRESIDENT 001.00 X 0 0 0 MATT BARBER VICE PRESIDENT 001.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY STEPHAN SECR/TREASURER 001.00 X 0 0 0 72372 false false false 295964 295964 PROGRAM SERVICES 624210 34604 34604 34604 330568 34604 0 0 0 0 72372 72372 0 51726 51726 0 0 9493 3957 5536 0 0 1524 1524 0 0 0 4258 4258 1683 1683 0 0 12192 12192 1055 1055 0 5156 5156 0 0 96494 96494 8698 8698 SUPPLIES FOR CAFE AND PROGRAM SERVICES 106757 106757 TELEPHONE 4576 4576 DONATIONS TO OTHER CHURCHES/MINISTRIES 7821 7821 BANK CHARGES 1849 1849 2675 2675 388329 258934 129395 0 10444 19360 218361 96494 199436 121867 209880 141227 2527 635 50000 41000 52527 41635 X 157353 99592 157353 99592 209880 141227 -57761 X false false false X 0.00000 156193 309734 243648 375540 330568 1415683 156193 309734 243648 375540 330568 1415683 75000 215760 74900 365660 75000 215760 74900 365660 1050023 0 0 0 0 156193 309734 243648 375540 330568 1415683 0.74170 0.74690 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 60000 1477 58523 158361 95017 63344 121867 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Program Service Expenses 112,175, Grants and allocations 0, Revenue 810 Continued a program called Reprogram where we provided job training to the unemployed so they can find work.
