The Chick-fil-A Foundation has donated millions of dollars to the three charities in previous years, but now the chicken QSR announced it’s going to donate almost $25,000 to a local food bank for each new Chick-fil-A location that opens, National Review said.&nbsp;“There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are,” said Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos in an interview with <a href="https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/retail/exclusive-amid-global-expansion-and-lgbt-pushback-chick-fil-a-changes-charitable-giving-structure-101818?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chick-fil-a-stops-donating-to-christian-charities-after-backlash-from-lgbt-community-2711651" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bisnow</a>. “There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”<a href="https://1851franchise.com/facing-backlash-first-chick-fil-a-abroad-closes-after-only-eight-days--2711354">The chain has been under fire in the past</a> for its alleged stance on LGBT rights. Back in March, a Chick-fil-A was banned from San Antonio’s airport by the San Antonio City Council after the company donated almost $2 million to “three organizations with a record of anti-LGBTQ discrimination,” according to <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2019-03-22/chick-fil-a-banned-from-opening-in-san-antonio-airport?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chick-fil-a-stops-donating-to-christian-charities-after-backlash-from-lgbt-community-2711651" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">U.S. News</a>.&nbsp;Many have sounded off on Twitter about their views on this news—while many have stated that they’re in favor of same-sex marriage, they’re bothered by Chick-fil-A “caving in” and changing their views.“Even though I’m in favor of gay marriage, this cave-in botthers me,” <a href="https://twitter.com/Rossputin/status/1196499834460459013?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chick-fil-a-stops-donating-to-christian-charities-after-backlash-from-lgbt-community-2711651" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">one Twitter user writes</a>.To read the full article, <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/chick-fil-a-to-end-donations-to-christian-charities-after-lgbt-backlash/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chick-fil-a-stops-donating-to-christian-charities-after-backlash-from-lgbt-community-2711651" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">click here</a>.
