Rubicon Bakers was started as a non-profit in 1993 by Rubicon Programs as a job training program for the Bay area’s homeless population, those recovering from addiction and the formerly incarcerated. Ten years ago Andrew Stoloff and Leslie Crary, a restaurant-owner and lawyer, respectively, purchased the bakery and turned it into a profitable business without losing the original mission.
