As an Indiana charity collected $7 million in donations, this undercover WTHR investigation exposed stunning mismanagement that violated public trust. Months of surveillance and undercover video revealed (literally) tons of food and donations intended for the homeless shelter never made it to the homeless at all. Instead, much of the food went directly to the charity's leaders - some of the most respected and powerful clergy in the community - who took the food for themselves, their friends, their family members, and even for their pets. The managerial abuses, neglect and dangerous living conditions uncovered by WTHR's 13 Investigates team prompted immediate resignations, ongoing local and state investigations, and significant changes to protect the charity's homeless residents and its donors. http://www.wthr.com/tags/grant-county-rescue-mission-13-investigates
