Wilders Donates Over 500 Pounds of Pasture-Raised Wagyu to Hurricane Victims  Based in North Carolina, our team is far too familiar with the devastation a hurricane can cause. Which is why, when Hurricane Ian hit Florida, we knew we wanted to help.  Some of our coworkers from RiverWild headed down to Florida with a trailer full of supplies to help repair homes and businesses in the wake of the hurricane. Wilders was honored to contribute 500 pounds of our ground, pasture-raised Wagyu to that trailer load of love, and pray for God's protection and provision over the recipients.  “Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.” -Helen Keller
