JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Sept. 24, 2026) \u2013 Wounded Warrior Project\u00ae (WWP) purchased its longtime headquarters in Jacksonville on Wednesday, reinforcing its commitment to Northeast Florida. The purchase strengthens the organization\u2019s long-term stability and expands WWP\u2019s capacity to support warriors locally, nationally, and internationally through long-term cost savings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWounded Warrior Project made a promise more than 20 years ago to be there for warriors, no matter what,\u201d said WWP\u00ae CEO Walt Piatt. \u201cBuying our headquarters is another step forward in keeping our promise for generations to come. We are proud to strengthen our roots in Jacksonville, a city with deep military ties and a strong culture of service.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
WWP relocated its headquarters to Jacksonville in 2006 and moved to its current building in the city\u2019s Southside area in 2010. The building at 4899 Belfort Road \u2014 also known as Butler Plaza I \u2014 is more than 87,000 square feet and home to nearly 400 WWP employees. Employees at the nonprofit\u2019s headquarters deliver\u00a0programs and services that support the social, physical, mental, and financial wellness of warriors and their loved ones. The purchase will provide WWP with more operational control and flexibility to enhance the building and better serve military and veteran families. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWounded Warrior Project is a mainstay in Jacksonville, a city that deeply values its veterans,\u201d said Mayor Donna Deegan. \u201cThis purchase solidifies their vital commitment to Jacksonville, and I\u2019m gratified to continue working with them to help those who\u2019ve served our country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With 1 in 4 Duval County residents connected to the military and over 30,000 WWP-registered warriors and family support members across Florida, Jacksonville is an ideal place to advance WWP\u2019s long-term goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor two decades, this city has been at the heart of Wounded Warrior Project\u2019s growth and will remain central to our mission,\u201d Piatt said. \u201cWe are committed to Jacksonville and proud to call it home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
WWP was founded in 2003 with a mission to provide simple comfort items to wounded service members returning from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, the organization still provides bedside support to service members but has evolved into the nation\u2019s leading veterans service organization, focused on the total well-being of veterans, service members, and their families.\u00a0WWP has invested more than $3 billion to support service members, veterans, and their families since 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
