Chick Fil A has made national news for its owners stance on gay marriage. Anytime they do something even remotely non-PC, their supposed slip up goes viral. Hash tags pop up all over the place.
So why is that what they have done in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting hasnt received a single mention on the mainstream new outlets?
Its probably because people like New York City Mayor, Bill DeBlasio might have to eat crow instead of chicken. DeBlasio has said that Chick Fil A spreads a message of hate.
Not so yesterday. In a shocking move, the Orlando location at University and Rouse Road fired up its grills on Sunday. The chain is notorious for not being open, ever, on the first day of the week. Employees cooked up hundreds of their famous chicken sandwiches. They brewed dozens of gallons of sweet tea.
Then, instead of making a single dime, they crated the product of their labor to the One Blood donation center. The food and drinks were handed out, free of charge, to all the people who had lined up to donate blood.
So far, the only mentions of the incident have been from individuals on Facebook. They have posted photos thanking the restaurant for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
But, wait, those people were waiting to give blood to victims that were mostly gay people. Doesnt Chick Fil A hate gays? Thats what we keep being told.
Turns out, that while the founders definitely dont approve of that choice of lifestyle, they believe in compassion. Who knew? A bunch of people claiming to be Christians care about others even when they dont agree with them. This group took time out of their schedules to volunteer to help those who were also trying to do their part.
On top of that, the franchises location on Wells Road in Orange Park is even offering coupons for a free frosted lemonade to anyone who donates blood when the One Blood mobile unit is at there store on June 14.
So much for Chick Fil hAte becoming a thing.
The only thing I posted on Facebook today; if I had said anything else I wanted to, I would have lost all remaining employment.
I was talking to the young men in my Trail Life USA troop tonight. We discussed a bible verse in Deuteronomy that says if your brothers of falls in the road, you shall help get it back up.
Not you should, or you may want to. It implies that you run to help. That’s what the good people at Chick-Fil-A just lived out.
As usual, the RAT party blamed Christian intolerance and guns for the massacre.
During the recent floods, Chic Fil A came in and delivered food to the subdivisions that were either underwater or impassable. They also donated food to the LEO’s that were working to evacuate folks. All without fanfare or mention, for the most part.
I just had Chic Fil A for lunch, today. May just do so again, tomorrow :)
The good folks at Chick-fil-a care little for praise, only to honor the Lord.
Chick Fil A = Serving good food with compassion.
An establishment benefiting many communities. A favorite when opened in Texas. Thank you Chick Fil A
Yes, it is.
Never eaten there before but will have to soon.
A proper “American” response.
America First!
+100!
It’s Chick Fil A
I don’t find the move shocking.
Me too, and I think I will tell them why I came so far to do it!
Spicy Chicken Sandwich Yum Yum! Enjoy!

Glad I just happened to go today and buy for my whole family.
Classy response!
Just took two of my grandsons and my GF there tonite. I like their chopped chicken sandwich. Grandkids like their indoor play area.
My niece is a manager at one, you are in for a treat! And the customer service is unparalleled.
I WANT to like Chik-Fill-A. Their service is great. I like how they treat their staff.
I just don’t like their chicken.
And I’ve tried to like it.
You bet they are. I’ve never been around a Chick Fil A that didn’t have a line as long as a city block.....they have been vilified by some but blessed abundantly by God in heaven and that’s all that matters! Good for you Chick Fil A!!
