HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) —
The former executive director of the Huntington Area Food Bank is facing
charges that she embezzled more than $23,000 from the organization.

embezzlement and eight counts each of forgery and uttering follow an
investigation by the West Virginia State Police.
The
Herald-Dispatch reports that the 56-year-old had
worked at the food bank since 2008, first under a community service
program for a prior embezzlement conviction and then as its leader from
fall 2010 to Oct. 3, 2012. The nonprofit food bank helps the needy in 17
counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
Zappin's attorney,
Chad Hatcher, declined to comment on the case. The Cabell County
Prosecutor's office also declined to comment.
