WOOD COUNTY (WTOL) - The CEO of a local non-profit organization has been charged with stealing money that was to be used for tutoring a child.
Linda Greene, CEO and President of Impact With Hope claims she has never stolen from Lynn Burdine, the woman in the court documents and that she's never stolen from Impact With Hope.
An indictment filed in Wood County Commons Pleas Court on Dec. 20 says Linda Greene took $2,913.02 in August of 2017.
She was charged with a fifth-degree felony of theft.
Greene says her organization is regularly audited and she has paperwork that any concerned donors can see to ensure them their donations are going to people in need.
Linda Greene has been the public face of Impact With Hope for years and she plans to stay in that position as the case goes through court. Greene says the charity’s board has pledged their support.
