Collection: Wilds of Montana
We came out swinging on our first Give Back project!
It started with a TON of research. We wanted to raise money for a cause and an organization that spoke directly to our brand's core values, but it was tough given how many fantastic organizations are out there doing really amazing work!
But as soon as we dug a little deeper into Wild Montana , we knew that we'd found it.
Almost immediately after deciding to focus our efforts on Wild Montana, we knew that we HAD to partner up with fellow Missoula maker and small business owner,
the Wild Jar Co
- because it just made such perfect sense!
Besides, an opportunity to support another local small business WHILE raising money for an amazing organization?
Does it get any better than that?!?!
Next, the vessel. With sustainability being at the top of the list of our values, and the mission of Wild Montana focusing on the preservation of our beautiful public lands and waterways, it only made sense to upcycle a glass container - especially since glass isn't on the list of acceptable recycle bin contents in these parts!
This was the main topic during our first project meeting with Cailene from Wild Jar Co., and it was Cailene who suggested that Yoplait Oui yogurt jars would be the perfect candidate!
And she was SO RIGHT!!!!
