AZ Woman Defiant After City Threatens to Shut Down Her Front-Yard Food Bank of 7 Years: ‘Visit Me in Jail?’

Glendale, Arizona Threatens to Shut Down Millie Ramirezs Food Bank for Illegal Storage

In the latest example of a government outfit squelching private charity, Millie Ramirez of Glendale, Arizona, is being told to shut down the food bank she has run from her front lawn for the last seven years.

Saying dozens of people depend on the service each day, Ramirez told KTVK-TV:

“If you could see their faces, it would make you emotional too. I’ve been there. I’ve been down to where I have nothing and there wasn’t anyone around to help. And If I can help why shouldn’t I? Why shouldn’t anybody help?”

But apparently someone complained to the city, and now the food bank is being considered “illegal storage.”

“You cannot have shelves out for display,” Ramirez read from one of the two compliance letters she received from the city.

A sign saying the food is free but the tables, rocks, and refrigerator are not in English and Spanish accompanies shelves of food. (Photo: KTVK)

When KTVK visited the city offices for clarification, they were told that regardless of Ramirez’s intentions or the fact that she cleans up every evening, “illegal storage” it is.

“They need to come out and see the little kids when their mom grabs a thing of cupcakes that they can take home…to see, ‘wow, we’re going to get a treat tonight,’” Ramirez said with emotion, wearing a shirt that reads “Pray, Vote, Pray.”

City officials were apparently vague about what fines or punishments the generous woman would receive if she failed to comply, but Ramirez says it doesn’t matter either way.

“I’m at a loss, but I can’t stop,” she said defiantly before (somewhat) jokingly adding: “Will you come visit me in jail?”

Here is Ramirez’s interview, via CNN:

  There are way too many people in public service that seem to have NO compassion, or Conscience. They are too cowardly, if they DO have these attributes, to stand up for what is right, over some stupid law that some PROG felt was a good thing to run on, to get re-elected! Evil flourishes when “GOOD” people do nothing. I will pray for her!

  Exactly DeadEnd! @OneIrishMan You know what the govt doesn’t want? It doesn’t want you feeling how good it feels to help another human being.I learned that while attending Restoring Love in Dallas. I can imagine this woman is causing a nuisance to her neighbors; but what the story doesn’t tell you (& I don’t know for a fact) is, she might be housebound like me. Once in a while my husband is able to drive me places like the event in Dallas. It took me almost a month to recover from the little work I was able to do while there. On a daily basis, I’m not able to go out & volunteer at a shelter due to my health; but it would mean the world to me if I could help one hungry person, I’d gladly give them a box of spaghetti or a can of beans right out of my pantry. Don’t be so harsh & judgmental please! Remember, one day it could be you or yours who she’s giving food to.

  Great response, and I do see your point. There are many ways to give, to care. We all have challenges in life, not just you. From the looks of the photos bedridden does not seem to be the case here, just a stubborn old fool that couldn’t give a hoot about her neighbors or the law. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

The problem is it’s a nuisance and a residential street sorry if you want to do this get it in a church or some other business that can handle it. In fact she is running a business out on a residential street where it doesn’t belong even if the food is free. City zoning is the Law she needs to comply by removing the shelving. I would say if she had people come in the home and get the food then she would be ok just not in the street.

  Providing food to the needy is a nuisance? Or is it seeing the needy in your neighborhood that is the nuisance? Perhaps it is ignorant people like you who are the nuisance. Yeah, I vote for the last one. You better find the Lord then pray that you never have to live like the people who this woman feeds. Although, it would change your tune.

  There are zoning laws for everything and they do have merit if we all started doing as we pleased we would have chaos in the streets is that what you want.
  
  There are places to feed the poor everywhere and are zone for this usage saying it doesn’t belong in the street doesn’t stop anyone from getting food.
  
  Get real this doesn’t belong in the street unless she has a permit to do so.

  One thing you forget is every neighborhood is different some would say on problem as long as it’s under control. Other neighborhoods this would never be acceptable and would never have even began every neighborhood is different and has different values and levels of what hey want to see in their neighborhood. Some places have wide spaces between homes others are crammed close together some have busy streets some hardly any traffic.
  
  These differences facilitate what is going to happen or not happen in your neighborhood
  
  Every place has its limits and differing values as to what is acceptable

How about the full picture here. I’m sure the neighbors are tired of every homeless person around living on there street. Does this affect home value, you bet. I have a 10 year old daughter, could there be perverts amongst these homeless, sure could. And many other problems, theft, drugs, alcohol and vandalism. Nice Lady needs to move operation to a shelter or go to jail. If she were my neighbor I would be pissed.

  You seem like a deep thinker (sarc.). Run a shelter out of your home, see how your neighbors react. The first time someone craps in there yard, peeps in there window, steals mail or swears at them while they are on there private property. Then what, how will your charity, on your private property protect there rights? It’s POS’s like you that think your own actions whilst being charitable and wholesome have no effect on the rights of others. Stupid Moron.

  Hi RJJ,

  I think the Red Cross is somehow behind this. They can be very nasty people at times. The neighbors would have complained a long time ago.

  Hi MONK, you might just have a point there. And, the Red Cross is anything but a charity. They make you sign for a loan and collect interest. I’ve had a couple of nasty run ins with the American Red Cross where they had convinced troops to sign for these loans, and they will use the U.S. Military as a collection agency leaving the troop in even more dire straits. Many of us gathered together and collected money within our unit to help pay off one guy’s loan. From then on, I never recommended anybody to the Red Cross.
  The illegal storage baffles me. Will they come after her for “illegal storage” of her lawn implements in that garage on the same grounds? Nothing like taking out a mortgage for half of you life then paying the city, country, and state rent for the rest of your life.

  I’ve heard plenty of horror stories from military personal about the American Red Cross and I’ve seen it in person. I also remember the photo they used (of a woman standing in front of her burned down house) on their website to collect money and never offered her any help. She sued to get the picture removed if I remember correctly.

I’m not being contrary here, but why doesn’t she just move the food into her garage? Let the people knock on her door and then give them the food? That’s what I would do. If they have a problem with the shelving on the street, then put away from the street.

The America you’re thinking about started ending in the late 1950′s or before. Now only some government agency can make sure that your wants, needs and desires can be met properly and safely.

Start Voting them out in November, Federal, State and Local, get rid of them.

God bless you Millie, you are in my prayers and under God’s protection for being there for HIM….what you do to the least of them, you have done to ME. We must all do what Millie is doing, stand up for that which is right irregardless of the cost to ourselves.

what a fine example of a TRUE AMERICAN. the Founding Fathers recommended just this sort of CIVIC ACTION as opposed to government interference. her t-shirt says it all. God bless you, lady.

  The founding fathers wanted nothing of the kind. They wanted ppl to be self sufficient. Where do you come up with this crap?

Send in a squad of Marxist thugs from the “new world federation” and rough her up. That will teach these filthy Christians a thing or two.

  I’m sure ENCINOM will be behind you on that. The mere mention of Christian sends steam from his ears.

The real culprit is the person who complained thereby forcing the city to take action. Who is THAT person and what is their complaint?

  That person is probably a self centered individual whose driveway was blocked for a few minutes. They could care less about the poor, they could care less about Millie Ramirez’s charity to those less fortunate. They would rather see the needy on the state dole, as they like big government ideas.
  More than likely a supporter of the one and only Obama!

They are shutting her down because, (1) There are no Ho-Ho’s, (2) Most of the food isn’t name brand, and no one want’s to eat all the Lima beans she has, and (3) She didn’t pay her union dues and pay off the cops. Come on, business 101, always budget for kickbacks.

  You would be surprised at what you cannot do on your own property. 2 months ago we had 2 cars ticketed because they were partially parked on the stony barely any grass area of our yard next to our driveway. What kind of trees must be planted, how big or small driveway is allowed, on and on. It is ridiculous how much control we have given up. Unfortunately, most of our neighbors don’t feel like it is worth complaining about or getting involved….just comply, it’s easier that way. Not sure if I am more mad or sad.
