Beautiful Day is a granola company with a mission to connect refugees to their community through business, job training, and community education. 

As a 14-year-old social venture, we have integrated adult and youth job training and a food entrepreneurship program into the daily production and business activities of a food business. We’re rooted locally in our state with our kitchen, fulfillment center, and offices in Providence. We have an active board of directors, and a diverse team of 10 full-time and 13 part-time staff, plus contractors and interns. We run an e-commerce store, ship products across the country, participate in local farmers’ markets, and deliver to local grocery stores. Many of our employees are former refugees who understand the challenges immigrants face. For more information about our mission, vision, and products, visit our website at www.beautifuldayri.org.
