With the incredible out pour of time and effort given by our volunteers during flood season, it’s safe to say that this part of the country is ground-zero for community involvement. Volunteers come in every color, creed, and political persuasion… their good deeds shouldn’t be dismissed because of what they choose to believe in. We can all agree on that, right? Well . . .not all of us.
The story comes from Mississippi. There, a FEMA worker videotaping the efforts of volunteers in the tornado-ravaged town of Ebenezer approached two sisters, asking them to change their shirts before conducting an on-camera interview. The reason? The girls’ shirts displayed a Salvation Army logo, and the FEMA crew didn’t want to “feature faith groups.”
