About Us
In the summer of 2023, All Hands changed hands! After 20 years of baking beautiful artisan bread and pizza, Derek Lucchese and his partner, Sue Holloway, were ready to embark on new adventures. Paul Gibson and Michelle Murdoch-Gibson took over the bakery with the same name, menu, and recipes curated by Derek and Sue, but they had a different plan for the future.
Paul and Michelle are the founders of the Rowan Tree Collective, located across the street from the bakery. Rowan Tree is a not for profit, inclusive, welcoming space that offers programming to young adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. While programming filled their days with meaningful and purposeful activities, many members were still seeking something more-employment.
With a plan for collaboration, Paul and Michelle acquired the bakery with the intention of providing supportive employment opportunities to those members who dream of having a job, a uniform, a schedule, a paycheck, and a sense of pride!
Our Mission
To provide social and recreational opportunities to young adults with Autism and other developmental disabilities in an inclusive and welcoming space that fosters friendship, belonging and a sense of community.
Our Vision
To build a strong collective of neurodiverse members who have a sense of belonging in our community.
Rowan Tree
The Rowan Tree has a long and sacred history. Since ancient times people have planted Rowans beside their homes. Known as the Tree of Life in Celtic mythology, the Rowan Tree symbolises courage, wisdom and protection. In North America the Rowan is commonly known as a Mountain Ash.
Collective
A collective is a group who shares or is motivated by at least one common issue or interest who work together to achieve a common objective.
