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.

Volunteers from Rock County Human Services CPS Family Support came to KANDU for the United Way Blackhawk Region’s Day of Caring. We’re still putting the finishing touches on moving into our new building, so volunteers helped us hang pipe and drape in the theater room, paint different areas ...throughout the building, and organize some storage rooms. Thank you to all the volunteers and the United Way Blackhawk Region!
