In this Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010 photo, Mary Isbill-Womack reaches for boxes of raisins to fill a care package at a Feed the Children warehouse in Oklahoma City. Larry Jones, a traveling preacher from Oklahoma, gave 20 cents to a hungry child on the streets in Haiti in 1979 and felt more could be done to help starving children. Over the next 30 years, Jones and his family embraced that ideal. They created Feed the Children, one of the world's largest charities, and it became known for Jones' heart-wrenching televised pleas for donations as a hungry child with sad eyes sat by his side. But now Jones has been fired from his own charity and is in a legal fight to get his job back from the $1 billion organization that's striving to push forward amid lawsuits, a state attorney general's investigation and watchdog groups warning people not to give it money. All of this comes as competition among nonprofits is fierce for dwindling donations in a tough economy.
