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. 10147 16382 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. 14801 21380 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. 152934 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 7 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 8 true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true true false X TARA ARMBRUSTER 2514551525 7735 DEERFIELD CIR MOBILE AL 36695 TARA ARMBRUSTER DIRECTOR 050.00 X X 26000 0 0 MATT ARMBRUSTER DIRECTOR 060.00 X X 36000 0 0 CODY MCWHORTER BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 LYDIA JONSON BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 CAREY GOLDEN 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 SHARON WILLIAMSON SECRETARY 001.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY STEPHAN TREASURER 001.00 X 0 0 0 62000 false false false 59878 59878 PROGRAM SERVICES 624210 183770 183770 183770 243648 183770 0 0 0 0 62000 62000 0 25000 25000 0 0 11918 3425 8493 0 0 2000 2000 0 0 0 3909 3909 3436 3436 3324 3324 0 8171 8171 1289 1289 0 0 0 0 0 0 SUPPLIES FOR CAFE AND PROGRAM SERVICES 113403 113403 AUTO EXPENSE 10814 10814 DONATIONS TO OTHER CHURCHES/MINISTRIES 11106 11106 BANK CHARGES 1370 1370 7541 7541 265281 152934 112347 0 27167 9458 118000 118000 27167 127458 3924 0 3924 X 27167 123534 27167 123534 27167 127458 X -21633 118000 X false false false X 0.00000 63672 156193 309734 243648 773247 63672 156193 309734 243648 773247 75000 75000 75000 75000 698247 0 0 0 0 63672 156193 309734 243648 773247 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 118000 118000 118000 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Once the Form 990 is prepared, it is reviewed by the President and Vice President prior to filing.
