I'm wondering if anyone on here volunteers with Wounded Warrior Project, and if so, what you think of it? There were two guys from WWP in the store I work at training service dogs today, and got me thinking about it. I'd rather donate time than just send a check.

Wasn't it mentioned last year that WWP is anti-gun?

Or am I think of a different org?

I vaguely recall something negative around WWP, but didn't pay much attention at the time, to be honest. But, that's part of why I'm asking for opinions about the organization.

I know we had a disabled vet here that thought there were better organizations out there than WWP. We chatted privately about this and he said they were very much anti-gun. I forgot the specifics and unfortunately the member is no longer with us to respond. RIP.

WWP refuses to accept donations from anything that can be traced back to the firearms industry.

I cannot remember the source exactly but I recall reading an article that the Vets that started this program were pushed out and this was taken over by some CEO who now makes $300K+ a year from running this. I do not support the WWP

WWP is anti-gun, pisses away it's money, and does a wonderful job of enriching the bank accounts of those who're running it. Nowhere in my description were wounded warriors mentioned.....................because they're not the focus of the organization. Find an outlet that actually deserves your dollars and time, WWP epitomizes how bloated charities trade off the good intentions of people who don't have any clue where their donations are actually going.

I would rather volunteer at my local VA hospital or DAV as a driver or something.

Support you American Legion or VFW. No anti-gunners here.
