CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of New Orleans has dismissed several board members of the Second Harvest Food Bank, as well as the institution’s top executive, after the charitable organization refused to help pay for sex-abuse settlements against the archdiocese.
The archdiocese had asked the Food Bank to contribute $16 million toward settlement costs. The ousted leaders resisted, saying that the funds contributed to the Food Bank had been pledged to the specific purpose of feeding the hungry.
