A bakery with prisoners as the bakers


In Italy, the award winning bakery Rebus works with felons both during and post incarceration as the workforce. They have heard of Rubicon and are eager to meet with us on Saturday to share stories about the work.

We are amazed by the similar work being done round the world and by the awareness of our work and the interest in what we do.

We are in awe of what is possible, and the very large number of simpatico organizations both small and large using business as a direct way to address poverty, drug abuse, and the "abandoned" of the world. We are in good company here at the "good food" arena and are proud to be one with our international colleagues.
