charity, has lost its good intention

I just read an email, about a "food for all summit meeting" that is going to be held on November 30. I will not join this group because I am sick and tired of seeing people with possibly good intentions trying to help the less fortunate and in this case starving children. I admire their intentions and wish them well, but every time there is a call for help and we step up to the plate, example 911 and Haiti, the actual people never see the results of these programs. Yes the gather huge amounts of money and supplies and then the greedy people step in and take their share 90% off the top and then there are all those people that must be paid to deliver, organize. and distribute what pitiful amount is left, and who is saved, generally not one poor soul that needed desperately the aid to begin with,. Charity has become a big business and there are very few charities where by the end dollar actually gets to the person for which the charity is held.
I know there are those who say even if only a few people are saved it is a job well done, but there has to be a way that people can help others and their effort not be in vain.
