Shame on Fred Jordan Missions #5- For letting their staff (the owners son) steal donations

I totally knew that guy Peter as well. So weird. I used to volunteer for Fred Jordan Missions and one time around Christmas, Peter told us underlings to round up all the Bratz Dolls. These monstrosities:

Anyway, there was literally a roomful of toys that donors had brought to give to the poor kids of Los Angeles, so in the end there was like 7 or 8 bags of Bratz related merchandise. Oh, and it was the hottest toy of the time. Every kid wanted it.
So the leader of the Mission asked Peter, why he wanted us to bag up all of the most popular toys. We figured because of the seductive nature of the dolls the Mission did not want to give them out. Nope. Turns out, Peter was taking them to his girlfriends niece. I swear to god. Seven bags of toys for his girlfriend. I was shocked. But the real shocker came when the Director asked Peter if his Mom (Mission President, Willie Jordan) knew what he was doing.
He told him, "yep, and you can take stuff too if you want it."
I couldn't believe it.
I always wondered if the donors knew they were donating toys to Peter's girlfriend!

Shame On Fred Jordan Missions #4- For how they spend donations (Part 3)

I am so glad I found this website. I used to run in the same circle as the youngest son of Fred Jordan (from my goth/punk days). This moron: (when I knew him, he smoked, drank, cursed, was getting divorced)

Fred would be so proud!

One time he was griping to everyone about how his Mother (Willie Jordan, President of Fred Jordan Missions) spent her time bouncing around 3 homes Fred Jordan Missions owned or shared ownership in.
1 was in Chino Hills and looked over Los Angeles, 1 was in Palm Desert and sat on one of the holes of a PGA West golf course and 1 was in San Clemente and had a pool that looked over the Pacific Ocean, (oh and he added, that that one had an elevator.)
I always wondered if the Donors of Fred Jordan Missions were aware that they bought the President of the "not for profit, Mission," three homes!
