Anyone with half an ear to the ground has heard plenty about the going ons of Angel Food Ministries these past few years. The Georgia nonprofit distributes massive amounts of low-cost food across the country and has, since 2009, endured a lawsuit, a federal investigation and controversy over legislation introduced by one of its employees, a state representative.
I wondered about the impact was of that sort of ongoing controversy. Do churches, which partner with Angel Food to distribute food, have any misgivings about the organization? Do allegations of corporate misuse of credit cards, a jet, and other perks, matter to the people fed by one of Angel Food’s boxes each month?
Here’s the story, plus a sidebar detailing the ministry’s troubles.
