Feeding Our Future is the inside story of the most audacious fraud ever perpetrated against a children's hunger program in American history. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to close and the federal government flooded child nutrition programs with billions in emergency relief, Aimee Bock saw an opportunity. What followed was a quarter-billion-dollar criminal enterprise built on phantom children, falsified rosters, shell companies and kickbacks, all concealed behind the mission of feeding hungry kids during the worst public health crisis in a century.
This book traces every dimension of the scheme, from the regulatory failures that made it possible to the FBI investigation that brought it down, from the communities exploited in its execution to the political shockwaves that reshaped an entire state. It is a story about what happens when institutional trust is weaponized, when oversight fails and when the most vulnerable people in a society become the cover story for their own exploitation.
