Orange County is requesting a nonprofit charity return $2.2 million it was awarded during the pandemic, citing inadequate documentation of spending.

Viet America Society (VAS) has been asked to reimburse the county for the money that was allocated to feed needy seniors, according to county letters sent to the group obtained by The Epoch Times. The request follows the organization’s alleged failure to submit an audit of its work and expenditures by deadline.
