Update: Settlement in Angel Food Ministries Suit
March 9, 2009
The family that runs Angel Food Ministries has settled a lawsuit filed by two disgruntled board members over management and spending at the Georgia charity, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Under an agreement approved Friday in Walton County Superior Court, the nonprofit organization, which distributes low-cost groceries through a national network of churches, will undergo a forensic financial audit, and company credit cards held by the founding Wingo family will be canceled. The board members will leave Angel Food, which they said was damaged by the Wingos’ profligate spending.
