New Heights Community Resource Center allegedly defrauded the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services by falsely claiming to have served nearly six million meals to low-income children between February 2019 and March 2022, while actually purchasing food and milk for less than three million meals.
The organization received approximately $11 million in reimbursements from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services based on the false meal service claims.
Connie Bobo was indicted on three counts of wire fraud, three counts of aggravated identity theft, and two counts of obstruction of an official proceeding related to the meal program fraud.
The $11 million in fraudulent funds were allegedly used by Connie Bobo to purchase a nearly $1 million home for herself, homes for relatives, a $2.2 million commercial real estate investment, and to give $1.4 million to her romantic partner who bought a $211,907 Mercedes-Benz G550 Wagon.
Connie Bobo allegedly forged an invoice from a food vendor to falsely claim that New Heights had purchased hundreds of gallons of milk for the meal program.

If she really forged invoices and lied about board members just to get federal reimbursements, that’s straight up fraud. People trusted her because she ran a charity, but now I wouldn’t trust anything she says — that’s the damage done.

Honestly, reading about Connie Bobo makes me feel betrayed — claiming millions of children were fed when the figures were allegedly false is awful.vShe was supposed to serve low-income kids but allegedly siphoned $11M for homes and investments — that’s disgusting.
Seemed like a place trying to help kids and families, mission looked good on paper.
