Feeding Our Future
Feeding our Future was a non-profit organization based in Minnesota.
In 2022, members of the organization were accused of defrauding the state's USDA-funded school nutrition programs of at least $250 million over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] On September 20, 2022, the U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced federal charges against 47 former Feeding Our Future employees for their involvement in the nation's largest pandemic-related fraud scheme.[3]
A group of seven individuals were the first to go to trial. Near the end of the trail, an unknown individual attempted to bribe a juror in the case with $120,000 in cash.[4][5]
