HOW KANDU STARTED
In 1961, a small group of parents and community supporters were on a mission to meet the employment needs of their adult children with disabilities. Today, that mission has grown into a thriving 501(c)(3) organization. In 2023 KANDU was recognized as Forward Janesville Large Business of the Year.
FINDING PURPOSE
Starting at age 14, clients with disabilities and disadvantages and their families turn to KANDU for friendship, acceptance, and purpose. By providing a range of fulfilling and enriching opportunities, we offer our clients the chance to earn a living, make friends, and thrive among their peers.
Through our operations, KANDU offers valuable services to the business and local community that support our underlying mission of providing opportunities for our clients.
PACKAGING AND PRODUCTION SERVICES

Livin' & Learnin' clients had a blast at Discovery World in Milwaukee! The highlights of the day included learning about various types of fish and being able to take home a 3D puzzle. These experiences help our clients connect with the community, explore new opportunties, and create... lasting memories.
