The difference ($400,000) represents 16,000 people who gave $25 for a box of food ... all of which went into her pocket. No thank you.
My wife and I make it a point to help locally and personally. 100% of what we do or donate goes to the needy party. There is no middleman. That's how I sleep.

The organization raises around $130 million per year. Her salary not only helps her and her husband support themselves and their four children in Illinois, but it also provides her with the means to travel around the world during crises to determine who needs what and where, and be that "hands on" CEO. That $25 for a box of food includes the cost of the food, the cost of the box, the cost of the delivery, the cost of the marketing to make sure that there are people donating another box next month...and yes, the cost of her salary. Which is pretty modest for the CEO of a major charity.
