Hi folks,The granola’s in the mail and Geoff, Evon and I are taking a short break to recoup and eat unhealthy things like fruit pudding and cheesecake.Who knows?—maybe with a little hard sauce on top. We’ll be back soon enough with refreshed minds and more personal incentive than ever to make the world a healthy place.Maybe we’ll even reach a decision about our logo.But just because we’ve gone fishin’ doesn’t mean you can't keep on clickin'.Our gift-subscription offer is still valid up through Christmas Eve (and maybe even New Year’s if you ask nicely).So you can be good to yourself,...
So far, with your help, the Providence Granola Project has paid about $9,000 in salaries this year and provided approximately 1,000 hours of job experience/training for new refugees.This on top of the fact that 5 out of 6 of our refugee employees have gone on to “real” jobs.When I compare this to the some of the Department of Human Service programs (that I help refugees access in my day job) it’s not bad at all.It wouldn’t be abnormal for the state to pay nearly $4,000 to provide an initial job training/experience for one welfare client—and this comes with no guarantees for further employment.So one way to assess the value provided by PGP this year (beyond the $9,000) is about $24,000.I think that’s pretty good.

Many of our fans are planning to give 3,6, or 12month gift subscriptions to our Granola-of-the-Month Club - the definition of a gift that keeps on giving, and perfect for that hard-to-buy-for friend or relative. Each month they will receive two 15oz bags of artisanal granola which, as you know, not only tastes really good, but is also helping "do good" for a community in need.
Here are a few "rough" versions of new label designs we are considering for our bags. Please post a comment letting us know which you prefer (A,B,C...etc.) and, if you don't mind, why?
