We’re raising a glass to our newest partner, The Fireside Theatre for donating their empty wine bottles to KANDU’s repurposed glassware project!

These bottles are being transformed into beautiful, handcrafted drinking glasses by participants in our job training program — helping ...create meaningful work while reducing waste.

With the support of amazing local businesses like The Fireside, we’re able to keep our Monday and Thursday bottle pickup route going strong!

If your business has empty wine bottles to share, give us a call at (608) 755-4123. Let’s turn today’s recycling into tomorrow’s opportunity.

A magical moment as clients from KANDU's Increased Support Program released butterflies—celebrating beauty, freedom, and joy. 🦋💚

🎶 Live music, local flavor, and a great cause — what more could you ask for? 🍷🍻

Clients in our ISP program have been getting creative with diamond art — a relaxing, hands-on activity that encourages focus, patience, and self-expression. Check out the creativity of our clients! Each masterpiece is a reflection of their unique style.

🌸 Spring is in full bloom at KANDU! Clients in our Adult Day Services and Memory Care program spent the day creating beautiful floral arrangements — celebrating the season with color, creativity, and joy.

This hands-on activity isn’t just fun — it also helps clients practice fine ...motor skills and express their unique artistic flair. Every arrangement tells a story, and we’re loving the blooms (and smiles) that are blossoming around here!
