Meet Wild Friends

hi there,we’re keeley and erika!

One rainy day at the University of Oregon, we were in our college apartment, scraping the bottom of yet another empty jar of peanut butter. As hungry college students and athletes, we ate a lot of nut butter, and on this occasion, neither of us felt like biking to the store in the rain to buy more. So we decided to try making our own nut butter that could meet our high nutrition standards, without compromising on great taste or fun flavors. That day, Wild Friends was born.

Our first non-profit partner is Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest, an organization which provides resources and opportunities for girls of all ages to grow up strong, smart, and bold.

Their powerful mission aligns perfectly with our own values. They are committed to advancing the rights and opportunities of girls and young women to reduce and eliminate the barriers girls face and reforming systems that impede on their success. They approach this work with an equity lens, focusing in particular on the needs of girls from low-income communities and girls of color, who face multiple, intersectional challenges. If you’re an individual seeking to volunteer, check out the Girls Inc. website, here. We have both been after-school Girls Guides and we can promise it’s just as transformative an experience for the guides as it is for the girls.
