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. 104175 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. 68620 10841 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. 266306 true 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 false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false X 9 7 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 JEFF BEAVERSTOCK BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 MOLLY BRODERS BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 MATT BARBER BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 SHARON WILLIAMSON BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 STANLEY LOVE BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 JODIE JOHNSON BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY STEPHAN BOARD MEMBER 001.00 X 0 0 0 TARA ARMBRUSTER PRESIDENT 050.00 X 25000 0 0 MATT ARMBRUSTER VICE PRESIDENT 060.00 X 37500 0 0 62500 false false false 189098 189098 PROGRAM SERVICES 624210 120637 120637 309735 0 0 0 0 62500 56250 6250 0 13416 13416 0 0 3472 3472 0 0 2000 2000 0 0 0 3258 3258 8479 8479 792 792 0 5843 5843 2744 2744 0 0 0 0 0 5423 5423 SUPPLIES FOR CAFE AND PROGRAM SERVICES 160647 160647 AUTO EXPENSE 11694 10525 1169 DONATIONS TO OTHER CHURCHES/MINISTRIES 25468 25468 BANK CHARGES 912 912 0 306648 266306 40342 0 24080 27167 24080 27167 0 0 X 24080 27167 24080 27167 24080 27167 3087 X false false false X 0.00000 63672 156193 309734 529599 63672 156193 309734 529599 529599 0 0 0 0 63672 156193 309734 529599 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT ARE SPOUSES.
