A Christian church and school in Florida are devastated after they said Wounded Warrior Project refused to accept their fund raising effort because it was “religious in nature.”

“We were heartbroken,” said Wallace Cooley, pastor of Liberty Baptist Church and Academy in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Cooley said they had already paid a $100 registration fee to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project and were about to launch the campaign when they received an email from the organization.

The church had planned on taking up a special offering on the last Sunday in February and students were collecting money from family and friends.

If this is true, it changes my opinion of the Wounded Warriors organization.

What in the world are they doing by refusing donations "religious in nature?" Perhaps they'll refund our donations because we are "religious in nature"...........

More and more I believe people will turn to only supporting their religious organizations with charitable dollars.

What have we let happen to our country? I know there's not one wounded soldier that would refuse the money.

Salvation Army, Samaritan's Purse, World Vision, Catholic Charities.....

But I thought Wounded Warriors was a worthy cause, and not so stupidly run. How dumb is it to refuse a donation from a church because it's a CHURCH?

It was one thing to have the Democrat Party refuse food from a church at their convention, but to punish our wounded troops because of their bias??

Incredibly stupid.

I'll have to check when I get home, but I think WW spends a lot on admin. Not good numbers.

Yikes.

We're very careful about where our charitable donations go, but we have given to WW.

I should have checked first.

Never again.....

Second time I've been puzzled by WWP. Looks like I'll leave the cash to Fischer House.
