OUR NEWS
18 Hands is redefining community development for adults with disabilities and their families. Whether it is creating job opportunities, organizing social events, or building community, it is all centered on the heartfelt connections between people and their pets. Every treat we bake is a small bridge, bringing humans and dogs closer together through shared moments of joy. In this way, we’re not just baking dog cookies—we’re creating opportunities for compassion and belonging, highlighting the beautiful bond between people and their canine companions while championing inclusivity for all.
WHERE WE ARE HEADED
Looking ahead, 18 Hands is excited to expand our mission beyond the bakery to create a vibrant community hub for both people and pups. Our vision includes developing an indoor dog park where dogs can play year-round, opening a cozy coffee shop for friends and neighbors to gather, and offering a variety of fun dog merchandise. We also hope to build an intentional residential community for adults with disabilities, providing even more opportunities for growth, connection, and independence. With each new step, we’re committed to fostering inclusion, joy, and meaningful experiences for everyone who walks through our doors — whether they have two legs or four.
