Refuse To Do Nothing gave me a place to help others, knowing that the love and dedication of its founder, Bridgitte Hatfield, is behind every project. I donate blankets and books to the Blanket Mission, cut shoe patterns for Sole Hope, and send materials for the African girls’ dresses. These are only a few of the many projects this nonprofit sponsors that aim to provide clean water, clothes, shoes, food, and shelter, globally to people in need. Donors can rest assured that every penny donated will go directly to those in need.

I enjoy following this organization & watching everything that they do. My dance team was a part of their pillowcase dress making years ago & seeing dresses being made from so many different participating states was incredible! Bridgitte also turned me onto the MudLove site years ago as well and every year I purchase bracelets as gifts for all of my dance teams. They, in-turn use the site to buy gifts for friends. Another beautiful organization giving to those in need. Love to see the chain reaction they create through what they do & stand for.

Refuse To Do Nothing has truly inspired me to become a better person. I have been pushed to grow towards putting others before myself. I always thought that it was impossible to change the world but through RTDN we are making this possible everyday.

RTDN is one organization that makes our world a better place. Always looking to better and help those less fortunate. Always wanting people, that are in need, to know someone is looking out and wanting good things for them. Simply helping those in need, what is often taken for granted in the USA, have what we all deserve; clean water, clothes, shoes, food and shelter.

Refuse To Do Nothing has been a wonderful conduit for me to help serve communities in need, both in the United States and abroad. Through this organization I have had the pleasure of participating in and hosting events that have allowed myself and my family to love on others in a way that is impactful to the basic needs and rights of every human. From water to clothing, blankets and shoes…RTDN works year round to provide even the most basic of necessities in many corners of the world and I am blessed to play just a small part in the big impact that Refuse To Do Nothing is making in the name of loving on humanity.

I first met Bridgette Ferraro Hatfield as our daughters were best buddies in college. In one conversation, I learned about her mission trip to Africa and wanted to help. My first foray was working with Bridgette at her house making the pillowcase dresses. We worked quickly and happily chatted our way through the work. It was awesome to see the pictures of smiling and laughing kids wearing the dresses from her trip! Since then, I’ve participated in group efforts involving my daughters. I was also on board to help cutting out fabric for the Sole Hope shoe construction and am amazed by the work that this group does here.
And this is only 2 of the more than a dozen efforts that this organization sponsors faithfully and consistently. Their work is intentional and backed by a fierce determination and true care to provide for the core human needs. I have appreciated how they make it easy and fun for volunteers to help when and as they can!

I received a wonderful care package during the quarantine. I am on disability and have very little funds, can’t drive and am being treated at Barrett Cancer Center. Then this unexpected package arrived. It truly lifted my spirits in tough times

Every human is deserving of basic rights such as Food, Water, Clothes, Shoes and Shelter which is the absolute 100% goal for Refuse To Do Nothing. RTDN is an organization that is thoughtful, inspirational and so very blessed to have many supporters that continue to run along side of them while they break down barriers for these basic human rights. Every effort to be kind and compassionate towards others is felt when volunteering, donating or hosting parties with a purpose. I am overwhelmed with joy to be part of their initiative to #dogood!

The amount of good that Refuse To Do Nothing has done in such a short amount of time is incredible. From building water wells, latrines, schools, churches, homes, and making pillowcase dresses/britches for boys, shoes, and blankets, and providing clean water and food for those in need is nothing short of inspirational and admirable. The entire board donates their time and financially supports each cause wholeheartedly. Working with, and through Refuse To Do Nothing has been a game changer spiritually and professionally. This non profit uses each financial donation, dollar for dollar to #dogood and does what everyone should do - Refuse To Do Nothing.

Refuse to Do Nothing advocates for those who don't have access to the five basic rights every human needs to survive: food, water, clothes, shoes, and shelter. These five needs are the pillars in which Refuse to Do Nothing was founded. There's are over 15 diverse 'Do Good' missions that lend out a hand and a heart for those globally and domestically in need. Refuse to Do Nothing is the most rewarding organization I have been apart of, bringing out the best philanthropic person in you and seeing first-hand the change you're truly making! #BeTheChange

This is a great organization that helps those in need at a global level. This organization has multiple events through the year that provide food, shelter, clean water, and clothing to others. Every year, they have an awesome gala called Celebrating Cross that helps spread awareness and education on food allergies. I highly recommend that if you want to help out and do something whether it's donating or attending these events, you visit www.refusetodonothing.org
