The former chief operating officer of Volunteers of America Mid-States embezzled more than $270,000 before she was fired in 2023 and her case was turned over to law enforcement, according to a new lawsuit and statement from the organization.
Tiffany Cole Hall’s alleged actions were discovered in December 2022 when she was accused of diverting funds intended to support “vulnerable individuals and communities” for her own use, according to a statement provided on behalf of the Volunteers of America.
The statement follows a lawsuit filed February 14 in Jefferson Circuit Court against Cole Hall by the insurance company for the Volunteers of America, which is asking for a jury trial and the money to be returned. The lawsuit, filed by attorney James Dilbeck, accuses Cole Hall of stealing $273,768.
Cole Hall disputed those claims in a statement from her attorney, Nick Mudd.
In a statement, Volunteers of America said Hall was fired in early 2023 following a short investigation and audit, with the results turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Volunteers of America provides addiction treatment, counseling and housing services, as well as residential programs for the elderly and people with disabilities and mental illness.
