My Angel Food Ministries lens on Squidoo keeps cranking out visitors. Right now, especially with all the worrisome economic news, it’s getting a slew of visitors. In fact, right now it’s number 24 in “Food” and number 286 overall at Squidoo.
It’s not making me rich – it wasn’t designed to – because it was just an experiment and something I wanted people to know about. It does throw out a few bucks now and again which is nice.
But I was checking some info on the ministry and it seems some bad apple there is being checked out by the Feds.
Having seen these people at work, who knows what this is? Once the stimulus money is received by the states and they see all the “strings” there will be lots of investigations like this. AFM did, after all, get a USDA loan to expand their distribution center. There has also been some question about exorbitant salaries of some executives there but it’s not about that at all.. or else they’d be raiding all major charities!
Despite this set back the ministry is up and running, fulfilling orders and taking orders. Hopefully it will emerge stronger after this, but the ministry really does need to tighten up on the executive salaries. Think “Mother Theresa” instead of “Bling”!
So many people are being helped, it would be a shame for this to tank now. Hopefully it’s an isolated issue. But nevertheless, I posted links to their announcements and a local news article that basically says “Not everybody likes the head guy here, but they employ 250 people in good jobs in this county and we’d hate to see them unemployed and the people they serve face life without their services.”
The links, if you want to see them, are at the bottom of the first section here at Angel Food Ministries.
