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
KANDU’s Packaging and Production Services allow companies to maximize their profits by outsourcing time-consuming and tedious processes to our skilled client workforce. Our business customers benefit from a well-trained, efficient workforce and competitive prices, while our clients learn valuable job skills and earn a living.
COMMUNITY EMPLOYMENT
KANDU’s community employment program helps local businesses save money on recruitment and training costs by pairing them with individuals who may not otherwise have a chance to find meaningful employment. KANDU program managers assess your operations to match you with highly qualified employee labor, provide pre-employment and on-the-job training, supervision, and ongoing support so businesses know they are achieving maximum efficiency.
AT KANDU, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES FIND PURPOSE, FAMILIES FIND HOPE, AND BUSINESSES FIND A TRUSTED PARTNER.

Our Minds in Motion program had a delightful and relaxing morning spent inside the cozy atmosphere of Ms. Potts Coffee Shop. The clients enjoyed a warm and comforting cup of hot chocolate or coffee while engaging in meaningful conversations and strengthening their interpersonal connections with one... another. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to unwind, connect, and enjoy some quality time together.
If you're in the area and need your coffee fix, stop by Ms. Potts Coffee Shop! Enjoy a delicious cup of coffee while making a difference. Your purchase at Ms. Potts Coffee Shop helps advance our mission. We hope to see you soon!
We are so excited to see the progress made on our new pavilion! This project wouldn't be possible without the help of Janesville Noon Rotary Club, Janesville Morning Rotary Club, Edgerton Wi Rotary Club, and Rotary Club of Beloit. We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we ...have received from the community.
This pavilion will provide our clients a comfortable shelter for outdoor activities once the weather warms up. We can't wait for the pavilion to be completed and to enjoy the fresh air in the new space!

With an aging generation that is expected to more than double in the next decade, many families are looking for daytime resources for a loved one with memory care issues. Clients in KANDU’s day services/memory care program spend their day socializing, building friendships, going on community ...outings, completeing arts and crafts, and more.
These activities are provided alongside day-to-day care administered by KANDU's professional staff. We aim to create a home-like enviornment where individuals can thrive in a family-like atmosphere.
